Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure medium cylinder for generating a mechanical force, with one of a cylinder bottom and a cylinder cover closed at the end cylinder tube, in which one with pressure medium at least one side acted upon piston is arranged longitudinally displaceable, of which a Cylinder cover sealed penetrating piston rod emanates, where for the detection of Piston position at least one sensor is mounted longitudinally displaceable on the cylinder tube.
- a generic pressure cylinder comes from the catalog "Know-How in Pneumatics" Rexroth Mecman GmbH (Print No. 00010 006 01, page 1.235).
- Pressure medium cylinder consists essentially of a cylinder tube with internal Piston and piston rod, at the end of a cylinder bottom and a cylinder cover over outside along the cylinder tube extending tie rods is attached.
- the tie rods serve Here also the attachment of a sensor, which determines the position of the im Cylinder tube extending piston detected and on the tie rod after loosening a Clamping screw is slidable, so that a mounting / dismounting or adjustment of Make sensor.
- the sensor usually works according to the induction principle. This is mostly in the piston embedded a corresponding magnetic element, so that at an approximation of the Piston to the sensor herein is an electrical voltage is induced as a measured value.
- the position of the piston which can be determined via the sensor usually becomes a superordinate one Control unit for controlling the admission of the pressure medium cylinder available posed. Frequently are also arranged with two end of the cylinder tube sensors detects the two end positions of the piston. Due to the exposed arrangement the extent at least one sensor on the cylinder tube, it may be undesirable Dirt accumulations in this area come. Furthermore, the sensor is not sufficiently protected against external forces, so that it leads to an adjustment of Position of the sensor and thus can lead to a faulty position determination.
