Position Sensor

A new sensor for hydraulic cylinders from ASM Sensors, Elmhurst, IL, simplifies installation and maintenance. The posichron® EasyMount is an absolute, non-contact and wear-free linear position sensor system with measurement ranges up to 5,750 mm. The core part of the sensor is a strong, maintenance-free magnet fixed inside the cylinder. The sensor itself is mounted on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder. No deep hole drilling is necessary for sensor installation. Small piston diameters with insufficient installation space can be equipped with sensors. Installation in synchronous cylinders is possible.
