Linear Hydraulic Cylinders Position Sensors from Turck

With the new magnetostrictive LTX-linear position sensors in rod design, Turck promises optimized position detection in hydraulic cylinders. Additionally level detection can be realized with the help of optionally available float magnets. Due to their high shock- and vibration resistance the sensors can also be used in construction machines and other rough fields of application. The LTX-series fulfills the protection category IP68 and is resistant against many chemicals and oils. The rod is made of high-quality stainless steel.

The LTX-sensors provide precise measuring signals with a high linearity and repeatability. They are available with analog output (4…20 mA, 0…10 VDC) or with a high-resolution digital SSI-output. A three-colored LED at the sensor output shows the current device- and signal status at anytime. The low power input (1 Watt type) enables the direct connection to display-, control- and interface modules. The programmability of the LTX-sensors allows a comfortable and individual adjustment of the measuring range.
