The cylinder position ismeasured when a magnet, pre-fitted inthe piston, is moved by steering cylinders can nowbe monitored by a Linear our existing solid state Hall Effectlinear Transducers have improvedaccuracy options and reduced deadlengths for even easier fitting into shortpin to pin length also have a totally new combinedlinear & pressure transducer , capable ofmonitoring long strokes with workingpressures up to 720 bar (10,500 psi).

2 A new explosive atmosphere, intrinsicallysafe, ATEX and IEC Ex approved lineartransducer for surface and undergroundapplications. LA/B series is the smallest active transducer on the market, using a clip in mounting it does not change the pin to pin dimension on existing cylinder designs Optional 5 VDC powered transducer gives VDC output, allows customer to upgrade from resistive type Transducers to non-contact Hall Effect without upgrading the mobile equipment electronics Submersible sensors capable of 6,000m ocean depths Sensors from 60mm up to 15m length, and working pressures of up to 720bar ATEX , IEC approved sensors for hazardous area applications Internal and External cylinder designs and Independent Mount.

Its cost effective design makes it ideal for replacing limit switches, brackets and the associ-ated cables, potentiometers etc where the 5 volt supply option is LAC clip-in version is extremely compact and excellent for welded cylinders with eyes, clevises etc requiring no increase in the cylinder pin to pin mounting length.

6 Accuracy of the transducer is typically +/- ( in) which is more than adequate for most mobile equipment. The transducer is easily field replaceable. The cylinder is stronger, easier to assemble, install and service. The cylinders can be supplied with magnets already fitted, so that if the stroke sensing function is required, the transducer can be added at a later date. Full stroke monitoring of Steering cylinders. Two Transducers can be used for redundancy on safety critical applicationsPatent applied for technology, eliminates the need for a gun-drilled piston rod. A transducer is mounted on the cylinder barrel and detects the position of the cylinder s piston by sensing a magnetic field formed by a permanent magnet embedded in the piston.

7 As the piston rod extends or retracts, the magnetic field propagates through the standard carbon steel cylinder wall to communicate with the Linear Engineering LtdWellington Street, Bury, Manchester, BL8 2BD, UKTel: +44 (0) 161 764 deep drillingExternal Linear TransducerClick here to send enquiryExternal Hall-effect Linear transducerModel LA/LBModel LMModel ELAI nternal mounting, Mobile equipmentInternal mounting, Mobile equipmentInternal mounting, Mobile equipment10mm diameterStrokes: LA - up to 2m LB - up to 3mPressure: LA - 325bar LB - 375barTemp up to: -40 to + 105C -40 to + 221 FKey Benefits: Low cost, compact10mm diameterStrokes: Up to 3m Pressure: 375barTemp up to: -40 to + 105C -40 to + 221 FKey Benefits: Very compact, Robust10mm diameterStrokes: Very long Steering CylindersKey Benefits: Very low installation costs Field replaceable Dual redundant optionElectricalOutputs Voltage, Current, PWM & Digital5V input optionResolutions: : : material: LA - Aluminium LB - St.
