Contributed by Edward E. Herceg, Chief Technology Officer, Alliance Sensors Group a div. of H.G. Schaevitz LLC As the demand for increased control and functionality has increased over the years, sensor- instrumented cylinders are becoming more important in the heavy industry, subsea and mobile equipment worlds. Position feedback sensors for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders have […]
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 […]
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 […]
What is LVIT technology?
LVITs—Linear Variable Inductive Transducers—have been around for more than 30 years, and are becoming very popular, due to their relatively low cost and flexibility to be packaged in many different forms. LVITs are contactless position sensing devices. They use eddy currents developed by an inductor in the surface of a conductive movable element to vary […]
