Linear position sensor posichron® EasyMount

non-contactmagnetostrictiveanalog output

posichron® EasyMount is a new sensor solution for hydraulic cylinders. Core part of the new concept is a strong position magnet mounted inside the hydraulic cylinder. The sensor itself originates from the magnetostrictive, non-contact and wear-free posichron® sensor line. Contrary to the conventional internal mounting, it is mounted on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder and is therefore easily accessible for maintenance and repair work. Advantages • Easy sensor installation due to external mounting • No deep hole drilling necessary • Easy maintenance and repair • Redundant sensor assembly possible (up to 4-fold) • Installation in synchronous cylinder possible The technology posichron® EasyMount outside mounting Due to the new, strong magnet fixed inside the cylinder, the sensor can be mounted on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder instead of inside the cylinder as usual. Long measurement lengths or small piston diameters can now be realized much more cost-effectively or for the first time at all. The time-consuming drilling of the piston rod to accommodate the sensor is no longer necessary. In case of maintenance or repair, the sensor is easily accessible from the outside. Mounting of additional, redundant sensors is possible. posichron® interior mounting The sensor is mounted on the inside of the cylinder. A bore through the piston rod is required. Applications The posichron® EasyMount sensor solution is suitable for many hydraulic cylinder applications. In particular, posichron® EasyMount is also suitable for slim pistons where
