Abstract:
A motor-operated-valve control system has a load cell positioned between a thrust bearing and a thrust seat in a stem housing of a motor-operated valve. The load cell is preferably toroidal with a stem-access aperture. Electrical leads from the load cell can be interfaced with readout and remote-control instrumentation.
