Sensor technology and valves for servo hydraulic actuators
Perfect for dynamic industrial and testing tasks

For the necessary sensitivity, Hänchen offers suitable sensor technology components and valves – everything for highly dynamic, precise drives with high energy density.

To operate the drive in an Industry 4.0 environment, sensors can also provide data for condition monitoring:

  • Pressure transducer in the chambers analyse the friction behavior
  • Temperature and color sensors provide information on the condition of the fluid
  • Online particle counters indicate the degree of contamination of the system
  • Flow sensors on the functional oil channel provide an indication for a seal replacement.
Force transducer

Force transducers use strain gauge or piezo technology and measure the tensile and compressive forces of the hydraulic cylinder. They are mounted directly to the piston rod and thus measure the load on the piston rod statically or dynamically. Force transducers are used, for example, to monitor or control the cylinder force.

Valves

Control valves regulate the flow rate in proportion to the electrical control signal. Depending on the application, valves with hydraulic pilot control or valves directly controlled by a proportional solenoid are used. Valves with zero overlap of the valve control edges are particularly suitable for hydraulic control tasks.

Proximity switch

Pressure-resistant inductive proximity switch detect the end positions of the stroke in the hydraulic cylinder without contact or wear. The signal is used to control or monitor the hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinder with proximity switches also have adjustable cushioning.

Position transducers

Position transducers electronically indicate the position of the piston rod. An analogue or digital position signal can be generated via the stroke. This can be used, for example, as an actual value signal in the position control circuit or for monitoring limit values of position or speed. The position transducer can be integrated directly into the cylinder, creating a mechanically protected system in a compact design.

Suitability of the servo cylinder series according to frequency range

The required dynamics of the drive determine the cylinder's type of effect. With fast control valves, even single-rod cylinders achieve a high profile quality at high frequencies.

The limit values shown in the diagram are intended as guidelines for your design. They depend on various operating conditions - we will help you with your selection.

Equipment servo hydraulic actuator
Sealing and guiding systems

The sealing system in the cover and on the piston is the core component of a hydraulic cylinder and determines its application possibilities. This defines how sensitive the servo hydraulic actuator can be moved, what minimum amplitudes can be travelled and how side loads affect it. In addition, you can select sealing systems that are low in wear.

For servo hydraulic actuators operating in oscillating mode, we recommend the Servoslide® synthetic guide or PTFE wear rings as a guiding system in the cover.

* Not for series 160
** When pivot mounting the pressure is limited to 120 bar.

F1 = force extending when extend the cylinder | F2 = force retracting when retraction the cylinder
For double-rod cylinders, retracting and extend correspond to the value F2.
