Research Summary

Linear position sensors are used in hydraulic cylinders to measure the position and movement of the piston. This information is crucial for controlling the flow of fluid and ensuring the smooth operation of the machinery.

There are several types of linear position sensors used in hydraulic cylinders, including:

Potentiometric Sensors – These sensors use a resistive element that changes resistance as the piston moves. The voltage across the resistance is measured to calculate the position of the piston.

Magnetostrictive Sensors – These sensors use a magnetostrictive wire that vibrates when a current is passed through it. The time it takes for the vibrations to reach a magnet determines the position of the piston.

Inductive Sensors – These sensors use a magnetic field to measure the position of the piston. The magnetic field is generated by a coil and the position is calculated based on the distance between the sensor and the magnet on the piston.

Optical Sensors – These sensors use light to measure the position of the piston. A light source and receiver are positioned on either side of the piston, and the position is calculated based on the amount of light that is blocked.
