Holding cable tension

Reliable position feedback for tight wire cables

The solution

Floating drilling rigs are connected to the seabed using wire cables. To prevent damage, they must be held under tension at all times. This can be difficult during swelling. Because of this, the tension is hydraulically adjusted via the tensioning device. Our BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors guarantee reliable feedback of the piston position of the cylinders.

The features

• Many interfaces
• Space-saving with installation in the cylinder
• Contact-free and therefore wear-free
