Position feedback sensors for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders have most commonly used one of three technologies: magneto-strictive (MLDTs), variable resistance (pots), and variable inductance (LVITs) ...

As the demand for greater control and functionality increases, position-sensor-instrumented hydraulic cylinders are becoming more important in the heavy industry, mobile equipment, and subsea worlds.

Cylinder-position sensors are used in pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. They determine the home and end stroke of the piston head within the cylinder. The difficulty lies in detecting the position of ...

Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce the MR Series of Linear Position Sensors for use in measuring the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The MR Series is designed to be a ...

T-slot cylinder sensors with IO-Link and two configurable hardware outputs are designed to keep both end positions in view. The outputs can be configured to specific application requirements. A ...

The small MS Series mobile hydraulic position sensors fit welded and tie-rod compact (38-mm-Dia.) cylinder applications and are compatible with existing embedded in-cylinder designs. The ...

Germany's Kaufbeurer Mikrosysteme Wiedemann (KMW) has introduced a higher performance version of its Z01 sensor for measuring cylinder pressure in large diesel, gas and dual-fuel engines. “The further ...

The sensor housing allows 304° of rotation that eliminates the hassle of post installation cable adjustments. This rotating feature also eliminates the need to unbolt the flange from the cylinder and ...
