Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A valve assembly may include a valve disposed in a flow path and an actuator disposed above the valve. The actuator may be configured to actuate the valve to move between an open position and a closed position. The valve may also include a rocking member disposed above the actuator and configured to move with the valve. The valve may also include a pair of first and second position sensors disposed above and parallel to the actuator. The pair of first and second position sensors may be configured to detect a position of the rocking member. The position of the rocking member may be indicative of a position of the valve.
