This absolute position transducer
can be integrated directly
in the pressurized zone
of pneumatic and hydraulic
cylinders, thereby providing
compact and cost-effective
position sensing.
The transducer consists of a
stainless steel flange welded
on a stainless steel pressureproof
rod and the moving
position marker. Signal processing
electronic is completely
build-in the flange. The
transducer rod fits into the
bored piston rod. The position
marker is mounted on the
piston bottom.
The complete transducer is
mounted inside the cylinder
and protected against external
influences. This feature with
highest durability is favoured
especially for mobile applications
in harsh environments.
Mounting is also possible in
clevis-head cylinders or any
space limited cylinder applications.

The touchless magnetostrictive
measuring process offers
superior accuracy and high
dynamics. The measuring
process is independent from
environmental media like
hydraulic liquids.
The high mechanical ruggedness
of the transducer combined
with the underlying
measuring technique means
that the system is highly resistant
to shock and vibration.
The measurement is accomplished
using a passive ringshaped
position marker
which can be moved as a
free-floating element. The
touchless coupling makes installation
even simpler.
The wear-free operation
means unlimited mechanical
life expectancy and unlimited
traverse speed of the position
marker and permits stroke
lengths up to 2500 mm.
The transducer’s integrated
signal processing transforms
the position information directly
into market standard
voltage or current outputs.
Since the outputs are direct,
no signal-conditioning electronics
are needed when
interfacing with controllers
meters.
The transducer complies
the usual EMC requirements
of agricultural and forest
machines and vehicles.
In addition to the standard
configuration, the modular
design provides customer
specific terminal flanges and
mounting variations.
