A Topworx K Controls switchbox is an industrial device used to provide feedback on the position of valves or other process equipment in automation systems.

The main components typically include a housing, mechanical switches or sensors, and wiring terminals for electrical connections.

K Controls switchboxes are mounted onto valves or actuators and are mechanically linked to the valve stem or actuator shaft. As the valve or actuator moves, the switchbox detects this movement and signals the position through electrical contacts or sensors.

K Controls switchboxes can provide various types of signals, including open/closed, on/off, or position feedback signals, depending on the specific model and configuration.

K Controls switchboxes offer reliable position indication, helping operators monitor valve status and ensure proper functioning of automated processes. They also contribute to operational safety by providing feedback on valve positions.

Yes, many K Controls switchboxes are designed to meet hazardous area classifications and are suitable for use in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres.

Yes, K Controls switchboxes are designed for easy integration with various automation systems, including distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

K Controls switchboxes typically require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection and cleaning may be necessary to ensure proper functioning, particularly in harsh environments.

Yes, certain models of K Controls switchboxes are specifically designed for subsea applications and can operate reliably at significant depths underwater.

Yes, K Controls offers customization options to tailor switchboxes to specific application requirements, including different mounting configurations, enclosure materials, and electrical specifications.

The operating temperature range varies depending on the specific model, but K Controls switchboxes are typically designed to operate within a wide temperature range to suit different environmental conditions.

Yes, K Controls switchboxes are often certified to meet international standards for quality, safety, and performance, providing assurance of compliance with industry requirements.
