Position Sensors For Cylinders

INT and INR sensors can be used on various types of cylinders by using special mounting brackets, which means fewer part numbers to keep track of and overall cost reductions.

The sensors and mounting brackets are "dropped" down into the cylinder grooves from above, eliminating the need to slide the sensors in from the side of the cylinder. There is no dismantling of cylinders or removing of collars when installing or adjusting the sensors.

Round, rod-less, tie-rod, and extruded styles with dovetail grooves are offered. The sensors are able to be mounted directly onto extruded cylinders with standard "T" grooves or round grooves and require no additional hardware.
