What is a linear position sensor?

August 30, 2017 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Rota,-ELA-cylinder-cutaway-hall-effect-linear-position sensor

Several technologies exist to provide position feedback or data of a cylinder’s position. Linear position sensors convert the position into a proportional analog or digital signal. LVITs—Linear Variable Inductive Transducers—are contactless position sensing devices, with sensing ranges up to 30 inches or more. Most designs feature an inductive probe surrounded by a conductive tube. This is […]

Dynamic Positilt PTK29 inclination sensor offers high accuracy and signal transmission with no delay

May 24, 2017 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

asm-sensors-Positilt-PTK29

Inclination measurement in mobile machines is exposed to motion, shock and vibration. Under these influences normal inclinometers will give incorrect values affecting sensor accuracy. ASM Sensors introduces the Positilt PTK29 inclination sensor that compensates dynamic influences to give correct values even when in motion. The sensor measures inclination between ±180° with 1 axis or ±60° […]

Three key priorities for successful agricultural hydraulic design

May 23, 2017 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Agricultural hydraulic design web-combine

Agricultural hydraulic design systems must be energy efficient, easy to operate and maintain, and of course reliable. Contributed by Carl Dyke, CD Industrial Group, Inc. Designers of hydraulic systems for agricultural machines face some difficult challenges. This is especially true for high horsepower tractors with not only steering and brake functions, but where a great […]
