There are many types of inductive sensors, but we specialize in those that provide continuous output along the stroke. The inductive technique relies on the change in inductance within a coil when a metal core or a “screen tube” is pushed through or over it. Based on this principle, various versions are developed to achieve different effects.
This contactless technique results in minimal wear, as the moving parts do not touch each other. Regal’s inductive linear sensor series, RCL40 and RCL41, are designed for easy installation in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.
These sensors are among the most compact available for use in cylinders. In addition to the coil, a controller unit is required. A significant advantage of our inductive sensors is that the controller unit can be placed up to 50 meters away from the sensor, providing greater flexibility in installation.
