Balluff Hydraulic Cylinder Linear Feedback - Rapid Replacement:
Replacing position sensors and getting your hydraulic system up and running can be troublesome, messy, and potentially dangerous. With the Micropulse rod-style ZM transducer and it's Rapid Replacement Module, the process becomes fast, clean and safe.
Balluff Micropulse Hydraulic Cylinder Linear Feedback:
Hydraulic cylinders are used in a variety of industrial applications for machine positioning. A continuous position sensor provides feedback signals to a PLC/motion controller showing the exact position of the cylinder along its entire linear stroke.
Balluff Packaging Automatic Size Changing:
Using linear measurement technology, planned downtime can be reduced dramatically. The Balluff BIW gives feedback on the position of guide rails and can allow for multiple product sizes to be run on the same line with little change-over time.
