The SMIK sensor is mounted on the cylinder head, and requires special machining and KERADOUCE\u00ae<\/a> coating on the rod. It enables the position of the rod to be determined with the utmost precision <\/u>and reliability. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Operating principle :<\/h2><\/div>

The sensor can only be used on KERADOUCE\u00ae.<\/p>\n

The KERADOUCE\u00ae coating has been developed to offer better corrosion resistance and mechanical properties than the chrome or nickel-chromium coatings generally used.<\/p>\n

But we discovered that we could use it for other applications while retaining its original function.<\/p>\n

The sensor is equipped with 2 inductive detectors which locate a profile machined under the KERADOUCE\u00ae coating.<\/p>\n

An electronic board integrated into the sensor processes the signal from the inductive detectors, so that it can be used on any type of system (counting card, PLC, PC……. compatible), enabling us to visualize the position of the rod.<\/p>\n

The 2 inductive sensors are mounted on a nylon part which, via an elastic washer, can oscillate perpendicularly to the cylinder axis, thus compensating for the rod guide play.<\/p>\n

The advantage of this system is that it has virtually no contact with the stem, guaranteeing maximum reliability. What’s more, there are no sealing problems, as it is not in contact with the pressurized fluid. <\/p>\n

The case is made of stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

DIMENSIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sensor has the advantage of being very small in relation to its capabilities.
In fact, the whole unit fits into a cylinder with a diameter of 98 mm and a height of 152 mm.
As we usually mount it on large cylinders, you can’t even see it – it’s totally integrated into the cylinder.<\/p>\n
