Control Products, Inc. - Position Sensor for Telescoping Hydraulic Cylinder

Print Print
See Product Details

CPI's SL720 Linear Position Sensor is the only sensor in the world which will provide absolute position feedback in telescoping hydraulic cylinders. The sensor mounts completely inside the cylinder, and works for any stroke length up to 72". And, unlike rod-type sensors, there is no lower limit to the cylinder bore size for this product (for non-welded end cap designs).

Another significant benefit to this technology is that the same sensor part number can be applied to any stroke length within the stroke range of the sensor e.g.—a customer purchasing the SL720, which has a max. range of 72" can use that same sensor for a 28" cylinder, 37", 41"—any cylinder with a stroke length of 72" or less.

  • Sensor resides completely inside of cylinder
  • No core drilling of rod required
  • Non-contacting Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) sensor technology
  • No end-of-stroke dead zone
  • No lower limit to cylinder bore size*
  • Virtually immune to shock and vibration, regardless of stroke
  • One part can be used for any stroke length -- same low cost and simplified inventory
  • Hammer-proof high pressure electrical connection
  • The only internal sensor that can be used in telescoping cylinders
  • Easily integrated into high-volume hydraulic cylinder production
