HYDRASTAR®
Hydraulic Cylinder Displacement Transducer System
HYDRASTAR is a non-contact, fast response, shock resistant displacement transducer designed for mounting inside hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders.
Designed to fit in applications where space is limited, its total length is only 2.6″ (6.3 cm) longer than the measurement length. This includes bulkhead mounting flange and nonlinear portion of the probe.
The core is mounted in a gun drilled hole in the piston and piston rod. As the core/piston moves over the transducer, a proportional voltage is generated by the signal processor.
Patented signal processing allows it to measure high-speed displacement with less error than magnetostrictive sensors.
