Long Stroke Hydraulic Cylinders Part 2 – Replacing Failed Rod-Type Sensors.
Rod based magnetostrictive position sensors are historically one of the primary types of feedback sensors used on hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders where high accuracy was of primary concern. The sensor (often called an “LDT” or “MLDT”) incorporates a stainless steel… Continue reading Long Stroke Hydraulic Cylinders Part 2 – Replacing Failed Rod-Type Sensors.
Position Sensing in Long Stroke Hydraulic Cylinders
Long stroke hydraulic cylinders commonly find use in equipment that is subject to extreme environments. This includes heavy duty industrial equipment of the sort found in power plants, oil and gas exploration, deep sea applications, and high-end mobile hydraulics such… Continue reading Position Sensing in Long Stroke Hydraulic Cylinders
