Optical single position sensors
Optical single position sensors measure a single point on the stroke of a hydraulic cylinder. They are integrated, tamper-proof, and insensitive to electromagnetic fields.
We have designed the optical position sensors specifically for agricultural and earth-moving machinery; the robust design of the sensors guarantees optimal operation even when the machines on which they are applied operate in harsh environments.

Operation and Applications
The main applications of optical single position sensors are centre or end-of-stroke measurement on steering cylinders, stabilisers, and telescopic cylinders. Unlike absolute position sensors, optical single position sensors measure a single point on the stroke of a hydraulic cylinder and thus pinpoint the exact position of the axle.
