Powerful piston detector

The non-contacting piston detector SONOCONTROL 14 works with new hard- and software more effectively now. The piston detector by SONOTEC recognizes the position of a piston in hydraulic cylinders through the cylinder wall, by using ultrasound.

Because of a new method of analysing and the possibility to adjust the resolution and deceleration of the scan time, the measurement range enlarges.

The compact sensor recognizes independently, when the next impulse has to occur. An interfere of the signals is prevented. The installation and the adjustment are easy. The user has only to feed the application with the inner diameter of the piston.

The powerful performance of the sensor is the result of the new hard- and software technology. The operating voltage amounts 18 … 30 VDC. The sensor recognizes the position of the piston by a piston temperature from –20 … +85°C. The SONOCONTROL 14 is available as IP67 version and the version for Ex-zones on inquiry, too.
