Abstract: A device for wirelessly transmitting a rotation position of an actuator. The device comprises first and second housings. The housing configured for securing to a body of the actuator. An adaptive sleeve may be used for coupling the second housing to a stem of the actuator. The device includes a sensor and a sensor trigger that are mounted in different ones of the first and second housings. The sensor generates a sensor output signal based on a proximity of the sensor to the sensor trigger. The sensor and sensor trigger are mounted such that relative motion between the first and second housings produces a change in the sensor output signal. A radio transmitter transmits the rotational position of the actuator stem based on the sensor output signal.

Abstract: A wireless sensor system includes a sensor assembly and a sensor trigger assembly. The sensor assembly includes a housing configured to be coupled to a device actuated by a rotary actuator, at least two position sensors disposed within the housing, and a power source disposed within the housing and configured to provide power to the at least two position sensors. The housing and the at least two position sensors and the power source disposed therein are coupled to the device such that the sensor assembly is stationary. The sensor trigger assembly is configured to be coupled to and rotate with a rotatable shaft of the rotary actuator. The sensor trigger assembly includes a sensor trigger carrier configured to be coupled to the rotatable shaft and a sensor trigger connected to the sensor trigger carrier. The at least two position sensors are disposed in a first position relative to the sensor trigger to sense a change in a rotational position of the sensor trigger when the rotatable shaft rotates.
