Actuating system for a valve, said system comprising:

• an outer housing,
• a receiving region running in the outer housing for receiving a switching spindle of the valve,
• at least one inductive sensor running in parallel to the receiving region, and
• at least one substantially circular cylindrical position encoder which has an electrically conductive material and which has a channel running along its longitudinal axis, said channel being equipped to receive the switching spindle of the valve, the position encoder having an encoder part through which a connection part is guided along its longitudinal axis, said connection part surrounding the channel and having at least one engagement element.
