Magnetostrictive position sensors for hydraulics
Position sensor manufacturer ASM has extended its successful family of magnetostrictive Position Sensors, Posichron, with a new sensor designed for mobile hydraulics in narrow installation conditions
The PCST25 is a sensor of high reliability and guarantees years of operation even in hostile environments.
Thus, expensive machine downtimes caused by sensor failure are now a thing of the past.
Posichron is an absolute, contact-free and wear-free position sensor measuring system.
The sensor carries out an absolute position measurement and is equipped with analogue outputs 0-10V, or alternatively 4-20mA to enable a smooth integration into hydraulic control systems.
The PCST25 series with measurement ranges up to 5,750mm and linearity up to 0.02% for high accuracy is already available at ASM.
The extremely robust construction of Posichron sensors guarantees years of trouble-free operation.
Due to their high electrical compatibility and extremely high resistance against shock and vibrations, Posichron sensors are best suited for applications in extreme hostile environments, such as in the field of mobile vehicle hydraulics.
An extremely compact stick design of the PCST25 has been developed to meet all requirements of mobile hydraulics.
Thus, the PCST25 can be built in almost every hydraulic cylinder, and the position measurement can be carried out directly within the cylinder.
A variety of mounting flanges makes this flexible sensor suitable for nearly every application.
