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 […]
New position sensor for hydraulic cylinders offers almost no stroke loss
Mobile machine designers are often faced with the following dilemma: accommodating quite a large functionality in the smallest possible installation space. Some mobile machines and utility vehicles must comply as well with unambiguous regulations regarding the width or height of the vehicle. The difficulty of this task becomes particularly evident when additional functions are to […]
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, […]
Direct stroke measurement in hydraulic cylinder
Whether it’s agricultural machinery, construction equipment, or municipal vehicles, intelligent sensors are indispensable nowadays throughout the mobile machine market. Accurately recording paths and angles is an integral component of intelligent operating functions. These functions improve not only the convenience, but also the safety of mobile machines. Using intelligent sensors also increases the performance and efficiency […]
