Magnetostrictive sensors that use line-of-flight technology to determine a cylinder’s position are not especially rugged, and resistive potentiometers often lack the necessary resolution or ...

Cylinder-position sensors are used in pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. They determine the home and end stroke of the piston head within the cylinder. The difficulty lies in detecting the position of ...

TURCK's line of magnetic cylinder position sensors has been expanded to include the BIM-UNR, a miniature sensor designed to mount within C-groove cylinders with no accessories required. Its dimensions ...

Company Announcement - Position feedback sensors for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders have used one of three traditional technologies: Magnetostrictive, Variable Resistance, and Variable Inductance ...

In the field of automation, a very popular choice for prime mover duties is the pneumatic cylinder. Pneumatic cylinders carry many advantages in terms of relatively low first cost, application ...

TURCK has expanded its line of BIM-UNT cylinder position sensors with a new 2-wire DC version, along with a NAMUR option for intrinsically safe applications. The cylinder position sensor features a ...

Motion control applications frequently require position sensors. Depending on the application, the specs might dictate small size, ruggedness or special approval ratings. A complete motion control ...

The Q25L is a magnetically actuated linear displacement sensor designed to detect piston position on pneumatic cylinders. With measuring ranges of 100, 125, 160, and 200 mm, the sensor is well-suited ...

The MR Series of linear position sensors is designed to be a drop-in form, fit and function replacement for magnetostrictive sensors, while featuring a more robust construction and lower cost of ...

Though not the first electrically controlled diesel in the light-duty market (the Ford 7.3L Power Stroke was), the General Motors 6.6L Duramax is recognized as one of the most sophisticated. It boasts ...
