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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
