Concept
With the Position Sensing for Hydraulic Cylinders technologie, it is possible to determine the position of the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder accurately.

TST is developing a new technology for position sensing of the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder. The key-features are:
- absolute measurement
- internal system - no disturbance of the robustness of the machine
- no deep borehole in the piston rod needed
- no modification of the outer piston rod needed
- only very small installation space needed
- applicable for extremely thin cylinders
- applicable for extremely large cylinders
- independend of the liquid mediums type, temperature and viscosity
- independend of the contamination of the liquid medium
- not susceptible to mechanical disturbances
- not susceptible to electromagnetic disturbances
- no shielding measures needed
- no material fatigue effects expectable
- easy assembly
- very cost-efficient
The project hyperT (Hydraulikzylinder-Positions-Ermittlungs-Technologie) is co-funded by:
