Zusammenfassung:A valve assembly (100), comprising a valve (104), the valve comprising a plug (120) that moves linearly and rotationally to open and close the valve; a valve position translator (102) mounted to the valve; and a valve position indicator (108) mounted to the valve position translator, the valve position indicator (108) being rotatable to represent the position of the valve based on rotary motion provided to the valve position indicator; wherein the valve position translator combines linear and rotary motion of the plug to produce rotary motion indicative of the valve fully opening or closing and provides the produced rotary motion to the valve position indicator.
