Position measurements in the hydraulic cylinder – extremely durable and compact

Ideally, movements should be measured where they occur. The linear encoders of the MAX48 product family are installed directly in the hydraulic cylinder. The sensor therefore does not need any additional installation space and is extremely well-protected in the cylinder interior. The magnetostriction measurement principle enables accuracy of up to 1/10 mm and does not cause any wear. With measuring ranges of up to 2,500 mm, different movements such as fork lift height, fork width and lift mast tilt can be determined with precision.
