Position sensor measures up to 5-m length in hydraulic and telescopic cylinders
The new SGH50 wire-actuated encoder from SIKO uses a clever cable mechanism for absolute measurement of hydraulic or telescopic cylinders. The sensor represents the latest generation of the SGH wire-actuated encoder family and now makes it possible to measure distances up to 5 m. Target applications are agricultural machinery, construction machines, municipal vehicles, forestry machines, […]
Wire-actuated encoder as integrated position sensor for hydraulic cylinders
The new SGH25 wire-actuated encoder from SIKO is characterized by a measurement range up to 2.5m and an extremely long service life. The variety of interfaces meets the very highest requirements, even in applications that are critical for safety. With this performance profile, the wire-based position sensor is suitable for applications in mobile machines such […]
Tough gauge comes in small package
When space is limited, Ashcroft 1008S 40mm (1.5”) and 50mm (2”) diameter pressure gauges provide the quality and performance of a larger gauge, but in a smaller diameter. A NEMA 4/IP66 ingress rating and a stainless steel case allow the 1008S to be used outdoors or in harsh environments. Liquid fill or the patented Flutter Guard […]
Linear position sensor adapts to existing hydraulic cylinder designs
Alliance Sensors Group 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 5,000 psig. Their 1-in. hex aluminum or stainless steel housing are ideal for […]
Inductive linear position sensor adapts to existing cylinder designs
Alliance Sensors Group, a division 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 5,000 psig. Their 1-in. hex aluminum or […]
What is a 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 […]
LVITs for cylinder and actuator feedback
Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce the continued success and expansion of the ME, MR, MHP, and now the SS-7 Series Linear Position Sensors used to measure the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in industrial, mobile, or subsea applications. With no magnet required, the installation and cost of ownership is dramatically reduced […]
Monitor pressure the easy way
The Ashcroft DG25 digital pressure gauge provides a 5 full digit LCD in ranges up to 25,000 psi. Available in accuracies of 0.5% and 0.25% FS, this leading-edge design boasts a minimum battery life of 2000 hours. Standard features include an IP67 enclosure, selectable units of measure, a 20 segment bar graph indicator, min-max, tare […]
Watertight or explosion-proof stainless steel pressure switch
A harsh operating environment is no match for Ashcroft’s A-Series 316L stainless steel pressure switch. Available in both explosion proof and watertight configurations, it is offered with a variety of connections and can control pressures up to 15,000 psi. This durable, compact switch is a suitable choice for a wide variety of industrial and OEM […]
