How can I monitor the position of my hydraulic cylinder in my system in every position and readjust it if necessary?
Part 6: Displacement measurement/displacementmeasuring cylinder (WMZ)
In many applications, reliable statements about the current position of a hydraulic cylinder are required, for example for safety interrogations or to prevent different axes of motion from interfering with each other. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to move to an exact position. The simple form of position switches (NI sensors) in the end positions of the hydraulic cylinders is no longer sufficient for this purpose. Even the adjustable position sensors (MS sensors, NE sensors, RE sensors, DKS sensors) reach their limits in this case. In order to always and absolutely determine the position of the hydraulic cylinder, internal or external position measuring systems can be used...
