ProSense variable area mechanical flow meters for fluids and water
ProSense FG1 series mechanical variable area flow meters from AutomationDirect provide visual indication of flow rate for water or petroleum-based fluids. These meters provide ±5% full-scale accuracy and a repeatability of ±1%, important for cyclical applications requiring consistent readings. Two adjustable flow limit pointers are available to provide preset indication of high, low, or normal […]
MHP Series inductive linear position sensors for cylinders
Alliance Sensors Group, a div. of H.G. Schaevitz LLC, has expanded its in-cylinder position sensor product line to include the MHP-7 series linear inductive sensors. These compact inductive linear sensors were designed to be installed into the rear endcap of hydraulic cylinders for operation at pressures up to 5000 psig. Their 1-in. hex aluminum or […]
New wire-actuated encoder for measuring length up to 12 m
The new SG121 wire-actuated encoder from SIKO is robust, compact and flexible. It is suitable for measuring lengths up to 12 m. With its long measuring lengths and a housing that is as compact as possible, the SG121 is suitable for intralogistics, manufacturers of mobile machines, and in stationary machine construction, too. The new SG121 […]
Hydraulic cylinder sensor requires no drilling, offers easy maintenance
ASM Sensors presents a new sensor solution for hydraulic cylinders that significantly simplifies installation and maintenance: posichron EasyMount is an absolute, non-contact and wear-free linear position sensor system with measurement ranges up to 5,750 mm. The core part of the sensor solution is a strong, maintenance-free magnet fixed inside the cylinder. With this new magnet […]
Absolute safety rotary encoder offers reliable utility vehicle position detection
When angles, positions and speeds have to be detected accurately in utility vehicles, engineers are often faced with a difficult task. The rotary encoder has to be sturdy, flexible for mechanical adaptation, offer the right interface and, of course, meet the safety requirements of DIN EN ISO 13849. SIKO GmbH from Buchenbach, has extended its […]
Pure.Mobile position sensor kit for utility vehicles
Heat, cold, shock, vibration, water, mud or dust – modern mobile machines must work reliably under all kinds of conditions. To ensure this, the machines need sensors that record and provide data continuously even under the harshest conditions. To acquire and send this data, sensor specialist SIKO has developed Pure.Mobile technology and brought it onto […]

Smart hydraulics integral to automated dozing
Komatsu America, Rolling Meadows, Ill., recently introduced its Proactive Dozing Control logic, a fully-integrated dozing control system that lets operators perform auto-stripping, auto-spreading and high production dozing, as well as finish grading. Available on several units, Komatsu’s Proactive Dozing Control logic is built on the company’s existing intelligent machine control. The system uses Global Navigation […]
Smart sensor enhances material handling systems closed-loop control
Mobile equipment manufacturers are always striving to get the most out of their machines without overburdening the system with costly and complex mechanics. Moreover, performance expectations are not only shaping machine needs but also safety requirements. Consequently, this has driven many engineers to design closed-loop systems featuring electronic sensors as feedback devices. For example, manufacturers […]
