Encoders and inclination sensors  Positioning the individual hydraulic cylinders of the excavator arm enables partial automation of work processes. This makes it possible to strip a slope, for example. Rugged MAX linear encoders - integrated into the hydraulic cylinder of the excavator arm - first detect the actual position. The target position is then approached by the hydraulic control. Positioning the hydraulic cylinder in semi-automated work processes MEASURING WHEEL ENCODER Measuring wheel systems use a wheel to record linear movements, which they then convert to speed or position values....
