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 ...

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.

Magnetostrictive sensors that use line-of-flight technology to determine a cylinder’s position are not especially rugged, and resistive potentiometers often lack the necessary resolution or ...

TURCK's line of magnetic cylinder position sensors has been expanded to include the BIM-UNR, a miniature sensor designed to mount within C-groove cylinders with no accessories required. Its dimensions ...

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 sensor is well-suited ...

In the field of automation, a very popular choice for prime mover duties is the pneumatic cylinder. Pneumatic cylinders carry many advantages in terms of relatively low first cost, application ...

TURCK has expanded its line of BIM-UNT cylinder position sensors with a new 2-wire DC version, along with a NAMUR option for intrinsically safe applications. The cylinder position sensor features a ...

The C-slot SDAC-MHS integrates multiple output types in a single compact sensor that simplifies installation and saves space.

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 ...
