Cylinder with In-Port Mounted Inductive Proximity Switches

• Allows for non-contact piston position sensing at near end of stroke

• Precision machined cylinder heads and piston cushion hubs allow for in-port mounting of "RF Inductive" proximity switches using the same switch probe length at each cylinder end without shims or spacers underneath the switch

Cylinder with Piston Magnet and Tie-Rod Mounted Reed Switches

• Tie-rod mounted reed switches can sense a shunted, high gauss "rare earth material" magnet, anywhere along the cylinder stroke. Stronger magnetism outside of the cylinder tube ensures actuation of the reed switch

Rapid Advance and Retract Pneumatic Soft Touch System

• Effectively controls rapid cylinder travel while moving heavy objects (weighing up to 3,000 lbs) for distances of up to 15 feet while moving at speeds of up to 5 feet per second
• Replaces ball screw actuators and other more costly hydraulic and electronic linear motion transfer systems including rack and pinion devices.

Linear Transducer Sensing with Full Stroke Position Feedback

• Linear position sensors provide accurate, non-contact position sensing anywhere along the cylinder stroke for a wide variety of applications.
• Hydraulic/Pneumatic sensor housing with integral electronics. Suitable for most in-cylinder position sensing applications. Up to 350 bar (5000 PSI) static pressure capability.
