The KSB AMTROBOX R (Model RA1187) is a heavy-duty limit switch box designed for position feedback (OPEN / CLOSED indication) on quarter-turn valves such as ball valves, butterfly valves, and plug valves.
It is commonly mounted on pneumatic actuators (KSB ACTAIR) as well as hydraulic rotary actuators, providing reliable electrical signaling to control rooms, PLCs, and automation systems.
This unit is engineered for harsh industrial, marine, and offshore environments, offering IP68 protection and long service life.
