Abstract
Position transmitter assemblies for use with actuators are disclosed. A position transmitter assembly for use with an actuator stem of an actuator includes a mounting bracket arranged for attachment to the actuator. The position transmitter assembly includes a position transmitter operatively coupled to the mounting bracket, the position transmitter including a position sensor or a feedback array. The position transmitter assembly includes an arm. The arm includes a first portion and a second portion. The other of the feedback array or the position sensor is mounted to the first portion. The position sensor is responsive to the feedback array to enable the position transmitter to determine a position of the actuator. The position transmitter assembly includes a cam assembly arranged between the actuator stem and the arm. The cam assembly is to cause the arm and the feedback array to linearly move when the actuator stem is rotating.
