Distance and Position Sensors

Using various measuring techniques, HYDAC offers different distance and position sensors for a wide array of mobile and stationary applications. Linear position sensors operate on the physical principle of magnetostriction.

This measuring principle determines with high accuracy the position, distance and/or speed signal, if required, and is based on elapsed time measurement.

Utilizing this non-contact and wear-free measuring technique, HYDAC offers different versions in a pressure-resistant stainless steel housing for part or full integration in hydraulic cylinders.

The ultrasonic distance sensor is a non-contact, highly compact sensor for measuring the distance to fluids and objects. By definition, its functional principle (measurement of sound transmission time) means that it operates with an extremely high resolution and measurement rate.
