The new SG121 wire-actuated encoder from SIKO is robust, compact and flexible. It is suitable for measuring lengths up to 12 m. With its long measuring lengths and a housing that is as compact as possible, the SG121 is suitable for intralogistics, manufacturers of mobile machines, and in stationary machine construction, too. The new SG121 […]
Absolute safety rotary encoder offers reliable utility vehicle position detection
When angles, positions and speeds have to be detected accurately in utility vehicles, engineers are often faced with a difficult task. The rotary encoder has to be sturdy, flexible for mechanical adaptation, offer the right interface and, of course, meet the safety requirements of DIN EN ISO 13849. SIKO GmbH from Buchenbach, has extended its […]
Pure.Mobile position sensor kit for utility vehicles
Heat, cold, shock, vibration, water, mud or dust – modern mobile machines must work reliably under all kinds of conditions. To ensure this, the machines need sensors that record and provide data continuously even under the harshest conditions. To acquire and send this data, sensor specialist SIKO has developed Pure.Mobile technology and brought it onto […]
Position sensor measures up to 5-m length in hydraulic and telescopic cylinders
The new SGH50 wire-actuated encoder from SIKO uses a clever cable mechanism for absolute measurement of hydraulic or telescopic cylinders. The sensor represents the latest generation of the SGH wire-actuated encoder family and now makes it possible to measure distances up to 5 m. Target applications are agricultural machinery, construction machines, municipal vehicles, forestry machines, […]
Rotary encoders keep firm grasp on angles and paths, even under tough conditions
One of the more interesting products I saw at the Hannover Messe in Germany last week were these new rotary encoders from the people at SIKO. Safety guidelines for mobile machines have been top of mind, even before the introduction of EN ISO 13849. With the release of EN ISO 13849, many things have changed […]
Position sensor for hydraulic cylinders avoids piston drilling
The SGH10 is a new position sensor for hydraulic cylinders from SIKO. It’s a great option for people who don’t want to have to drill into the cylinder piston. This wire-actuated encoder measures the absolute, direct cylinder stroke in the hydraulic cylinder—the sometimes cost-intensive drilling of the piston is not required with this product. As a […]
Direct stroke measurement for hydraulic cylinders
Edited by Mike Santora Whether it’s agricultural machinery, construction equipment or municipal vehicles, intelligent sensors are indispensable nowadays throughout the mobile machine market. Recording paths and angles is an integral component of intelligent operating functions. These functions improve not only the convenience, but also the safety of mobile machines. Using intelligent sensors also increases the…
