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.

Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...

The fast update rate option, available for SSI and EtherCAT® protocols, fulfills high, dynamic requirements by shortening the cycle time for a measured value so the controller can read the absolute ...

But their limited range and linearity limit many of their applications to detecting odd or irregularly shaped targets rather than actual position. On the other hand, inductive linear-position sensors ...

• A single linear sensor monitors 20 positions. • Time to read 20 positions matches that of a single position. • Strokes over 5,000 mm, accuracy of ±20 μm, and resolutions of 1 μm. It is often ...

Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC (HGSI) has expanded its sensor product offering by adding a line of ILPS-18S Series Spring Loaded Inductive Linear Position Sensors using LVIT Technology. The ...
