Position Sensing System for Hydraulic Stoppers

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Position Sensing System

Definition

The Position Sensing System is a component within the Hydraulic Stoppering System, designed to accurately detect, measure, and provide feedback on the linear or angular position of the stopper mechanism. It ensures precise control and safety by monitoring movement limits and positions during operation. The system employs sensors such as linear potentiometers, LVDTs, magnetostrictive sensors, or encoders to convert physical position into an electrical signal proportional to the displacement. This signal is processed by a controller to deliver real-time feedback for system control and monitoring. Key parameters include an operating pressure range of 1.0–1.6 MPa, a supply voltage of 24 V DC ±10% with reverse polarity protection, and a 4–20 mA two-wire loop-powered output signal. The measurement range is 0–100 mm (custom ranges available), with accuracy of ±0.05% FS (including linearity and hysteresis) and repeatability of ±0.01% FS under constant conditions. Operating temperature is -40 to 85°C for electronics, with sensor head up to 125°C. The housing is made of 316L stainless steel (ASTM A240) with IP67 ingress protection (IEC 60529), dust-tight and protected against immersion. Weight ranges from 0.5 to 1.2 kg depending on cable length and options. Materials include stainless steel housing, sensor element (potentiometric or magnetostrictive), electrical connectors, and protective seals. Always verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier, as these are directory reference ranges.

Working Principle

The system uses sensors (linear potentiometers, LVDTs, magnetostrictive sensors, or encoders) to detect the physical position of the hydraulic stopper. The sensor generates an electrical signal proportional to the position, which is then processed by a controller to provide real-time feedback for system control and monitoring. The output signal is typically 4–20 mA, allowing integration with standard control systems. The sensor element is housed in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel enclosure with protective seals, ensuring reliable operation in industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of sensors are used in this position sensing system?

The system can utilize linear potentiometers, LVDTs, magnetostrictive sensors, or encoders to detect the position of the hydraulic stopper. The specific sensor type depends on the application requirements and should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

What is the operating pressure range for this system?

The operating pressure range is 1.0–1.6 MPa. Verify the exact range for your specific model.

What is the ingress protection rating?

The system has an IP67 rating per IEC 60529, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This ensures suitability for harsh industrial environments.

Can the measurement range be customized?

Yes, custom ranges are available. The standard range is 0–100 mm, but other ranges can be provided upon request. Contact the manufacturer or supplier to discuss your specific needs.
