This version of the linear position sensor series HLT 1100 has been specially developed for use in safety circuits / safety functions as part of the functional safety of machinery and equipment up to SIL 2 (IEC 61508) or PL d (ISO 13849).
The sensor works on the principle of magnetostriction.
This measuring principle determines with high-precision the position, the distance and/or the velocity and is based on elapsed time measurement.
Based on this non-contact and wear free measuring system, HYDAC offers this version in a pressure resistant stainless steel housing for full integration in hydraulic cylinders.
Special features:
- Very robust housing
- High resistance to shock and vibration
- Excellent EMC characteristics
- Non-contact and wear-free
- SIL 2 / PL d certification
