Hydraulic cylinders with inductive proximity sensors and built-in "crash safety"

If there is a need for signalling in conjunction with Hänchen hydraulic cylinders, the pressure-resistant, inductive proximity sensors are not far away: depending upon the task at hand they go into action when specific consequential processes are triggered, they monitor functions (with additional diagnosis output), display enabled or disabled states, coordinate switching points.

They are specifically matched for Hänchen hydraulic cylinders in each respective application and subject the cylinder to a permanent visual control and display at which end position the piston is located at any
given time. Proximity sensors switch at each respective stroke end position and thus the user knows "exactly what’s what".

The proximity sensor operates inductively and thus without making contact. This makes it free from wear-and-tear and enables it to operate flawlessly for an entire cylinder service life. And what's more, they can be fitted into any Hänchen hydraulic cylinder.
