[0002] The valve positioner is the main component of the pneumatic control valve. As the name implies, it is installed on the valve. It improves the accuracy, reliability and precision of the valve by receiving the output signal of the control valve. That is, it is used in conjunction with the control valve to improve the performance of the valve, control some deviations caused by the operation of the mechanical device, and then calibrate it to make the work smoother and more accurate. The working principle of the valve positioner is to compare the valve displacement signal with the output signal of the controller. If there is a deviation, the output signal is changed to correspond to the valve stem displacement.

[0003] The use of valve positioners can improve valve performance, but valves can be installed under any working conditions. Some working conditions may be extreme environments such as high temperature and water splashing, which may cause the valve positioner to fail to reach its normal service life, thereby increasing spare parts costs and maintenance work.
