Pennsauken, New Jersey, June 11, 2024…Alliance Sensors Group a div of H.G. Schaevitz LLC has expanded its in-cylinder position sensor product line to include the MHP-7 series linear inductive sensors. These compact inductive linear sensors were designed to be installed into the rear endcap of hydraulic cylinders for operation at pressures up to 5000psig. Their 1-inch hex aluminum or stainless steel housing are ideal for mobile hydraulics, factory automation machinery, or oil and gas exploration equipment, and mount to the cylinder with a standard male o-ring port thread.
Features of the MHP-7:
• Compact 1-inch hex aluminum or stainless steel housing
• Contactless- no wear from cycling or dithering
• Ranges from 25 to 600 mm (1 to 24 inches)
• Excellent stroke-to-length ratio
• SenSet™ for field scalability of analog output
The MHP-7 series sensors are based on a proprietary contactless inductive sensing technology with a short stroke-to-length ratio. They employ a 7 mm diameter sealed inductive probe inserted into a gun-drilled hole in the cylinder piston. A target tube is installed into the ID of the cylinder piston. The inductive probe senses the target tube to measure the piston position. MHP-7s are offered in ranges from 25 to 600mm (1 to 24 inches) full scale with a wide variety of on analog I/Os and either connector and cable terminations.
The ASG in-cylinder sensor series also includes the MR-7 and ME-7 series for larger cylinders and actuators and the SS-7 for subsea applications. Technical data sheets and additional information can be found at www.alliancesensors.com.
