Product Overview
The SAMSON 4746-02102100 Inductive Valve Position Limit Switch is designed for reliable valve position detection and monitoring in industrial process control systems. Part of the SAMSON Type 4746 series, this limit switch detects when a pneumatic or electrically actuated control valve reaches a predetermined travel position and generates a switching signal for monitoring or control equipment. Its inductive sensing mechanism supports accurate valve open and closed position indication, consistent switching performance, and dependable operation in industrial automation applications.
Manufactured by SAMSON, the Type 4746 series features a durable powder-coated aluminium housing, adjustable switching points, and a mechanical feedback mechanism that converts linear valve movement into rotary shaft movement. The 4746-02102100 belongs to the inductive limit switch family, while related configurations include 4746-1211210000 and 4746-132021000. The series supports mounting on compatible control valves and SAMSON Type 4763 and 4765 positioners, making it suitable for chemical processing, oil and gas facilities, power generation, water treatment, and industrial valve automation.

How do I find the right part for my system?
Three options. Search by part number if you have the OEM code from Parker, Danfoss, Linde, Kawasaki, Kayaba or Grundfos — our search recognises both manufacturer codes and aftermarket cross-references. Browse by category if you know the component type (pumps, valves, cylinders, etc.). Or send a spec sheet to our engineering desk and we'll cross-reference against our 3,000+ SKU catalogue within one business day.
Can you help me size a pump or valve for my application?
Yes — sizing support is included with every order. Send us your operating pressure, flow rate, viscosity, drive speed and duty cycle, and our engineers will recommend a suitable component from our catalogue with full datasheets. We don't custom-build parts ourselves, but we can spec the right OEM component for almost any standard industrial application.
Can you cross-reference a discontinued part?
Yes — cross-referencing is one of the things we do most. Send us the original part number (even if the manufacturer has dropped it) and our engineering desk will identify a current equivalent or compatible alternative. Cross-reference lookups are free and typically come back within 4 business hours.
