Electro-Hydraulic Position-Sensing or "Smart" Hydraulic Cylinders
Nearly all of Energy Manufacturing's hydraulic cylinders can be provided with an electronic position-sensing option. Such units are also referred to as electro-hydraulic control, or "Smart" cylinders. This sensing is accomplished with technologies proven by many years of application / field experience and success.
Both internal and external position-sensing designs are available. Accuracy as high as +/- .008 inches (+/- .2 mm) can be provided, depending on cylinder stroke length and other application and design parameters. In addition, new sensor technology is available that provides the following features and benefits:
- Unchanged Center-To-Center Retracted Distance in Many Applications
- Environmental Packages to Meet IP69K Water Intrusion Resistance
- Working Pressures to 9,000 psig (620 bar)
- Stroke Lengths from 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) to in Excess of 15 feet (4.57 m)
