SIKO SGH10L Position Sensor

SIKO has developed the SGH10L position sensor for hydraulic and telescopic cylinders in order to give designers and developers maximum flexibility in designing their cylinders.

• Specially developed for use in applications where almost no stroke loss is acceptable when integrating sensor into cylinder
• Lateral mounting on hydraulic cylinder in specially developed housing rather than, as usual, in cylinder base, prevents stroke loss from occurring
• System is fixed to cylinder by hydraulic screw connection
• Cable is guided into cylinder and then redirected towards piston head
• Only installation space for sensor ear is required in cylinder
• Measures a few millimeters in size, providing particularly compact installation shape
• Can be used in hydraulic cylinders with extremely small diameters, e.g. 20 mm (0.8 in.) and smaller, or integrated in cylinders with mechanical end-position cushioningHollow drilling of piston is unnecessary
• High flexibility for both cylinder manufacturer and user
• Many available interfaces, such as analog current or voltage outputs, CANopen or SAE J1939
• Available in two versions, 500 and 1,000 mm (19.7 and 39.4 in.) measuring ranges
• Equipped with PURE.MOBILE sensor kit, meaning it was designed from scratch with 100% focus on mobile hydraulics, and accordingly exclusively for mobile machines
• Pressure-resistant up to 350 bar (5,076.3 psi), pressure spikes up to 450 bar (6,526.7 psi)
• Wide temperature range up to 105 C (221 F)
