Alliance Sensors Group announces the ME Series linear position sensors for embedded use in measuring the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in industrial, mobile, or subsea applications. The series is designed to be drop-in form, fit, and function replacements for embedded magnetostrictive sensors but with much more robust construction and a lower cost of ownership. They can also replace embedded resistance potentiometers, offering high accuracy without wearout. The sensors are based on a patented contactless inductive sensing technology that uses solid probe construction and requires only a simple conductive tubular target or a small diameter deep hole gun drilled in the cylinder rod for operation rather than needing a permanent magnet ring, counterbored hole, or any other type of special target.
