Inductive Sensor Measure Ram Position of Hydraulic & Pneumatic Cylinders
Description
ME Series of Linear Position Sensors is designed to be drop-in form, fit, and function replacements for embedded magnetostrictive sensors but with much more robust construction and a lower cost of ownership.
They can also replace embedded resistance potentiometers, offering high accuracy without wearout. ME Series sensors are based on a patented contactless inductive sensing technology that uses solid probe construction and requires only a simple conductive tubular target or a small diameter deep hole gun drilled in the cylinder rod for operation rather than needing a permanent magnet ring, counter-bored hole, or any other type of special target.
