Lifting and lowering drawbridges

The solution

Time is of the essence when raising and lowering movable drawbridges, as impact on traffic must be kept to a minimum. Our high-precision Micropulse magnetostrictive linear position sensors, which are integrated in the hydraulic cylinders, allow the bridge to raised and lowered as quickly as possible. Our pressure-rated inductive sensors reliably detect the end positions of the cylinder and position the bridge with precision.

The features

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