  • Pneumatic Cylinders
    sensors over that of linear potentiometers. In recent years, MTS has supported pneumatic cylinder manufacturers in the development of servopneumatic control solutions. In these types of applications we can provide the right combination of performance and outputs like position and velocity.
  • Sensor Technologies to Detect Pneumatic Cylinder Position - White Paper
    Over the years, many users have abandoned the use of reed switches due to their failure rate and have utilized mechanical or inductive sensors to detect pneumatic cylinder position. AMR and GMR sensors are smaller, faster, and easy to integrate and are much more reliable however; they must overcome
  • LVDT Position Sensors For Use With Pneumatic Cylinders
    There are two general applications to use LVDTs with pneumatic cylinders described here:
  • Position Sensor Technology Comparison
    Position feedback sensors for hydraulic. or pneumatic cylinders have used one of three. traditional technologies: magnetostrictive, variable. resistance, and variable inductance sensors. While other sensor technologies have occasionally. been used successfully in this application,. the focus
  • Selecting Pneumatic and Electrical Actuators: Part 2
    , positioners, speed controls, transducers and other control accessories are necessary to properly communicate with the system and to characterize the performance of the automated valve to meet the process/flow control requirements.
  • Linear Actuators for High-Speed Low-Load Applications
    A number of medical applications need high-speed actuation in the lower load band. Many OEMs use pneumatic actuators or electric solenoids for this purpose; however, these options do not provide precise positioning. And although more expensive technology such as servo pneumatic positioning systems
  • Angle and Inline Valves Options Guide
    MDC angle and inline valves are available with precision mechanical position indicator (MPI) option. The MPI system consists of two single pole, double-throw micro switches mounted on top of the pneumatic actuator air cylinder. Each micro switch is wired in the normally open position. Wiring
  • Thermal Shutoff Valves - Then and Now
    vents the pneumatic actuator, allowing it to move into its fail-safe position (open or closed). At the same time, it closes the supply airline, eliminating oxygen that would feed the fire. A second entire fusible link valve assembly dedicated to the thermal shutdown is no longer required.
