Cylinder types
Smart Sensor Cylinders are advanced hydraulic cylinders that incorporate position sensing technologies to enhance the performance and control of hydraulic systems. These cylinders are also known by various names, including electronic position-sensing cylinders, electro-hydraulic control cylinders, intelligent cylinders, or smart cylinders.
They utilise linear transducers or sensors to accurately measure and communicate the piston’s position within the cylinder back to the overall hydraulic system.
Smart Sensor – up to 5000psi
Smart Sensors can be used in versatile mobile machines without any restriction and replace contact-based linear sensors like potentiometers. Highly dynamic systems are controlled safely by means of Smart Sensors, thus enhancing the productivity, availability and quality of the working process of the machine. Insensitive to vibration, shocks, dust and weathering influence and electro-magnetic disturbances. The sensors are successfully used in front axle and articulated frame steering cylinders, hydraulic jacks and in steering systems for hydraulic units on agricultural and construction machinery.
