Sensors for Demanding Machinery.
Sensors for industrial and mobile machinery, including solutions for rotary and linear position, inclination and fluid level — selected around the measurement task, mechanical integration, environment and required system interface.
Sensor Solutions for Industrial & Mobile Machinery.
A suitable sensor starts with the machine function — not with a predefined sensing technology.
Rotary and linear position, machine inclination and fluid level each require different mechanical and electrical approaches.
Comtrium offers sensor solutions for industrial and mobile equipment where reliability, integration and predictable behaviour are critical.
Four Ways to Measure the Machine.
Select the measurement category first, then choose the sensing technology, mechanical configuration and electrical interface that fit the application.
Rotary Position Sensors
Rotary position sensing for shafts, controls, actuators and machine mechanisms using potentiometers, Hall effect sensors and encoders.
Linear Position Sensors
Linear position sensing for cylinders, actuators and machine functions where stroke, extension or displacement needs to be measured reliably.
Inclinometers
Inclination and tilt sensing for chassis, booms, platforms and other machine functions where angular orientation must be monitored.
Level Sensors
Robust fluid level monitoring for oils, coolants, water and other media in engines, hydraulic systems and mobile machinery.
The Sensor Is Only Part of the Solution.
Selection depends on how the sensor will be integrated, what environment it must survive and how the machine controller expects to receive the measurement.
Measurement
Define what needs to be measured: rotation, linear movement, inclination or fluid level.
Mechanical Integration
Shaft, stroke, mounting, available space and mechanical tolerances determine the suitable sensor format.
Environment
Temperature, water, dust, vibration, shock and media compatibility all influence sensor selection.
Interface
Analogue signals, potentiometric output, pulse signals, CANopen, SAE J1939 and other interfaces may be required.
From Simple Analogue to Machine Bus.
Different sensing tasks require different measurement principles and interfaces.
