SIKO SGH50 Position Senor for Hydraulic and Telescopic Cylinders

The SIKO SGH50 position sensor uses a cable mechanism for absolute measurement of hydraulic or telescopic cylinders.

• Wire-actuated design
• Measures distances up to 5 m (16.4 ft.)
• Target applications are agricultural machinery, construction machines, municipal vehicles, forestry machines, piston accumulators and other industrial applications
• Features extremely durable design
• Special plastic extends fluid temperature resistance from 85 C (185 F) to 105 C (221 F)
• Easily copes with shocks 100 times the force of gravity
• Flexible cable completely absorbs vibrations, unlike rod-based sensors
• Hydraulic medium provides additional damping of any vibration
• Protection rating of IP69K and uses  KV1H plug connections for further durability
• Analog interfaces, CANopen or SAE J1939 provide communication with machine control system
• Applications in which maximum functional safety is essential can be supplied with redundant versions (CAT3, PLd) in accordance with EN13849
• Integrated teach-in function allows measurement length to be taught individually from 0-5 m, reducing number of variants for manufacturers
• Hollow boring of piston unnecessary, reducing costs for manufacturers
