single sensors of the array are queried over multiplexers lively and. Economical
position switches with redundancy can be developed with a simple sensor array.

Press Release Body = A new sensor of IBJ Technology from PVDF arrays for the
measurement of the piston position with ultrasonic achieves high local dissolution,
how it was unequalled for sensors on ultrasonic basis so far.
A PVDF foil (ultrasonic sensor array) lies full-laminar on the cylinder wall. The
single sensors of the array are queried over multiplexers lively and. The patented
evaluation procedure works without disturbing absorption influences and without
temperature dependences. The measurement of longer procedure distances of the piston
is possible by lining up of several sensor arrays. The expenditure of discrete
elements is very small. Economical end position switches with redundancy can be
developed with a simple sensor array. Replacement past mechanical end position
switch in hydraulic\'s applications. The structure height of the sensor amounts to
only few millimeters. Additionally also the range of application for simple,
economical hydraulic\'s applications within the range opens automotives. Priority
applications: Controlling and regulation of any hydraulic cylinders, monitoring of
energy storage (piston accumulator), end position monitoring of hydraulic conveyer
systems, stabilizers in shipbuilding and offshore one, monitoring of construction
machines, monitoring of hydraulic door clamps, control and monitoring of hydraulic
components of wind-powered devices, plants for seawater desalination, additional
assembly to existing hydraulic cylinders without interferences.
