Intelligent sensors are indispensable throughout the mobile machine market. They increase the performance and efficiency of mobile machines, allowing repetitive work processes to be automated and relieving machine operators. One of their most important measurement tasks is precisely determining the stroke of a hydraulic cylinder in order to measure and monitor its motions.
Siko’s new and unique SGH10 is a measuring system for direct stroke measurement in hydraulic cylinders. The cylinder stroke is measured precisely using Bowden cable sensor technology installed directly in the cylinder. The high quality plug ensures the system fulfills protection class IP69K.
The electronics are fully encapsulated on the unpressurised side of the system. This means the entire measuring system is built into the cylinder and is optimally protected from external environmental conditions. Hence the sensor system cannot be influenced or damaged by loose parts or environmental influences.
Another revolutionary aspect is the reduction in the cost of integrating the system into the cylinder. In the SGH10 stroke measuring system, just one small thread is needed in the piston to mount the cable. This results in major potential cost savings, which affect production times and overall costs for the hydraulic cylinder. The greater the stroke length, the greater the potential for savings. Cylinder manufacturers, mechanical engineers and end-use customers reap the benefits.
Another highlight is that the SGH measuring technology can be used in telescopic cylinders. This provides design engineers with entirely new options when developing forward-thinking assistance systems and supplemental functions in mobile machines.
