Alliance Sensors' line of in-cylinder contactless position sensors for mobile and industrial hydraulic applications include the MR (port-mounted) and ME (embedded) Series sensors.
- Inductive coil minimizes disturbance due to vibration and shock in extreme environments
- Does not include wave guides which can get dislodged or wires breaking as with “time of flight” devices or wearing out as in thin-flim potentiometers
- MR Series designed for new or retrofit, and installations into hydraulic cylinder applications to convert conventional cyinders into smart position sensing devices
- ME Series originally designed for OEM applications feature compact size and multiple I/O choices
- Both series suited for applications with limited space, high shock or other environmental considerations
- Features SenSet field programmability which allows installer to very simply set zero and full range to match the actual cylinder stroke in seconds without need for special field programming electronics
- Applications include use in subsea, mobile hydraulics, hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, valve position feedback and spool valve positioning
- No magnet required, senses the piston rod position
- Features minimum dead zones on probe tip and sensor head
- Probe outer diameter measures 7 mm
- Functional replacement for magnetostrictive and resistive pots
- Port-mounted and embedded versions available
- Can be scaled in seconds once installed in the cylinder using the SenSet feature
- Provides operating pressures to 5,000 psi g (10,000 ft.; 3,000 m) depth
- Contactless design means there is nothing to wear out
- Includes high shock and vibration tolerance
