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 ...

Alliance Sensors Group has announced 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 drop-in form ...

Over the years, many users have abandoned the use of reed switches due to their failure rate and have utilized mechanical or inductive sensors to detect pneumatic cylinder position. AMR and GMR ...

Position feedback sensors for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders have used one of three traditional technologies: Magnetostrictive, Variable Resistance, and Variable Inductance sensors.

Designed for continuous use at operating pressures up to 350 bar, the Novotechnik TH1 touchless sensors are readily integrated into high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. TH1 transducers ...

Machines now have a lower-cost alternative to noncontact position feedback devices used for hydraulic and pneumatic actuators. The TDP-100 in-cylinder position sensor offers nearly infinite resolution ...

According to its developers, the MR series is designed to be a drop-in form, fit and function replacement for magnetostrictive sensors but with more robust construction and a lower cost of ownership, ...

Balluff has introduced a compact sensor designed for use with C-slot-equipped pneumatic cylinders. The BMF 273 sensor, designed to indicate piston stroke end position, is 25.7 mm long, and fits ...

The Q25L is a magnetically actuated linear displacement sensor designed to detect piston position on pneumatic cylinders. With measuring ranges of 100, 125, 160, and 200 mm, the ...
