HYDRAULIC CYLINDER WITH POSITION SENSOR
Designed for applications that require precise real-time position control, these cylinders incorporate an internal sensor that reports the exact rod position to the automation system, eliminating the need for external sensors and simplifying wiring.
The main rod is machined hollow to house the sensor probe internally, so it is never subject to mechanical stress. At the rear end, a reinforced head houses the electronic board and the signal cable outlet. The piston slides over this probe and carries a magnetic ring: the magnetostrictive sensor reads the position of that magnet in real time, reporting the exact rod extension to the automation system with no mechanical contact with moving parts. Being fully enclosed within the cylinder's metal body, the sensor is shielded from external electromagnetic interference, impact, dust and dirt — protected under the harshest field operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of position sensor is used in INCOCIL cylinders?+
Magnetostrictive or potentiometric sensors, integrated into the cylinder body, with an output signal compatible with PLCs and automation systems (analog or digital).
Does the position sensor eliminate the need for external limit switches?+
Yes, the integrated sensor provides continuous, real-time reading of the rod stroke, eliminating the need for external sensors and additional limit switches.
How is the sensor protected inside the cylinder?+
The main rod is machined hollow specifically to house the sensor probe internally, so it never carries mechanical load. The reinforced rear head houses the electronic board and the signal cable outlet. Being fully enclosed by the cylinder's metal body, the sensor is naturally shielded against external electromagnetic interference, impact and dirt.
