Fiber-optic transducer offers several advantages over mechanical linkages. Angular position of rotary valve measured by pair of optical-fiber deflectometers. Measurement device sensitive, immune to electromagnetic interference, and does not wear out since fibers do not make contact with valve. Device more rugged than linear or rotary variable-differential transformers it replaces.
