The SX80 position sensor, which is simple to install, can be used for to measure the position of lifting tables, lifting platforms, work platforms and loading ramps. With a maximum measuring range of three meters and a wide range of analogue and digital output signals, this path transducer is predestined for lifting technology. It provides the operator with reliable and ...

The distance sensors are available for measuring ranges from 10 to 400 mm and their minimal spot size of 50 µm also allow for selective measurements. The built-in display and the good/poor analysis along with the custom parametrisation via teach-in make the sensors easy to handle. The analogue output and an external input with configuration option add to the functionalit...

demonstrated in an application video. Hydraulic cylinders open and close the lock gates and must sustain substantial water pressure in the process. The wire rope sensor is used to control and monitor the movement speed and acceleration of the cylinders. The pressure-tight housing allows the sensor to be flange-mounted directly to the cylinder and the stainless steel m...

- Linearity max.: ±0.05 % - Output digital: SSI, Profibus, CANopen, Profinet, EtherCAT - Protection class: IP65 (optional IP67) - Operating pressure: up to 300 bar

The patented SX200 is one of the few Draw Wire Encoders that can be integrated into hydraulic cylinders and can measure a stroke of up to 12m. No other measurement principle reaches this measuring range without removing the cylinder, with a simultaneous integration of the measuring system. Due to the way the hydraulic cylinder is assembled, the entire measuring system...

-Monitoring the filling level for the feeding and timing of the filling process as well as the retrieval of stock status. -Initiating safety measures (e.g. shutting down) when a maximum or minimum filling level is reached In the first case, we are talking about continuous filling level control. The filling level of the monitored substance can be registered at any t...

The measuring range of the KS sensors ranges from 0 to 10 mm, providing the highest degree of accuracy under a variety of operating conditions. The low carrier frequency enables measurements of materials from a microohm level to kiloohm level (μOhm cm bis > 1000 Ohm cm), without the need for specific recalibration. The KS sensors are particularly useful in measureme...

The product range includes inexpensive wire sensors with high reliability and precision accuracy. Equipped with a sturdy anodised aluminium casing, as well as optional Hartcoat® coating with a V4 measuring cable for corrosion protection, we guarantees durability, even under the harshest of conditions. For especially fast and accurate measuring work, WayCon also presents ...

For a number of years, WayCon signal converters have been used in sensor technology for the purpose of converting the signals of a potentiometer into proportionally analogue norm signals (5V/10V/±5V/±10V/4..20mA). In the new version of the PMX, interference and disturbance in the sound have been reduced to a minimum. Another totally new aspect is the integrated...

WayCon offers an efficient way to control legally permissible load torques and to avert the dangers of tipping or falling over in doing so. The core component of the draw wire sensor is an ultralight capstan which is connected to the test object via a steel wire rope. If the distance between the two changes, the steel wire rope is pulled out of the sensor, against the...

Thanks to its pressure-proof casing, the SX 300 can be mounted directly on the face of the cylinder. The stainless-steel measuring rope is simply attached to the piston and held tightly by a spring in the sensor. The sensor element, a digital encoder, is located outside of the pressure area and provides data about the position of the piston with the utmost precision and ...

Amongst other features of the series are the excellent measurement characteristics: dark objects are measurable, as are objects behind a transparent sheet, and highly accurate distance measurements are feasible on various surfaces. As the series includes point lasers as well as line lasers, measurements on uneven surfaces do not present any difficulty at all. The larg...
