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 ...

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.

They determine the home and end stroke of the piston head within the cylinder. The difficulty lies in detecting the position of the piston within its cylindrical housing. Magnets placed within the ...

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 ...

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 ...
