Lifting and lowering bridges

The solution

Every second counts when raising and lowering movable bridges, as impact on traffic must be kept to a minimum. Our high-precision BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors, which are integrated in the hydraulic cylinders, ensure that the bridge raises and lowers quickly. Our pressure-rated inductive sensors reliably detect the end positions of the cylinder and position the bridge element with precision.

The features

• Position detection and speed measurement
• High-pressure resistant rated to 500 bar
• Cost-effective solution for monitoring end positions
