Sensor technologies to detect pneumatic cylinder position
27 November, 2012 by Jack Moermond, Product Line Manager, Balluff, IncTo integrate a pneumatic cylinder into an automated system, it is necessary to supply signals to the controller indicating the position status of the cylinders. Pneumatic cylinder manufacturers, machine builders and end users have developed a number of ways to detect extension or retraction of a pneumatic cylinder and provide a signal to the control system.
