ASG LVDTs for valve position sensing
New Jersey-based Alliance Sensors Group (ASG) has developed a broad line of linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) for power generation and heavy industrial applications. ASG LVDTs are used for valve position sensing in power plants and for heavy duty operations in steel, aluminum and paper mills, stamping or die presses, and mining machinery, where a generic LVDT cannot operate or survive.
New smart hydraulic cartridge valves
The newly-released hydraulic cartridge valves from HydraForce have a built-in sensing option capable of transmitting an "on" or "off" signal for position-sensing in hydraulic systems. They are suitable for lifting, lowering, machine on/off, and for safety applications.
