For many hydraulic applications, accurate cylinder feedback is essential—but not every project can accommodate expensive instrumentation. THM Huade’s low cost linear position sensor series meets this challenge by delivering reliable, high‑value performance without unnecessary bells and whistles.

Using design principles derived from string potentiometers and magnetic Hall-effect transducers, these sensors offer compact size, ease of installation, and compatibility with standard hydraulic cylinders. They are available in stroke ranges from a few inches to multiple meters, making them suitable for low‑budget automation upgrades, OEM machinery, or large-volume retrofit deployments across packaging equipment, material handling, and mobile hydraulics.

Performance highlights include ±1–2 mm repeatability, analog voltage or current output options, and ease of integration into electro‑hydraulic control systems, PLCs, or microcontroller boards. Physical protection ratings of IP65 or better, flexible stainless steel or PVC-coated cables, and temperature ranges mapping typical fluid‑power environments guarantee installation durability. Shock and vibration resistance ensures reliability when operated alongside low‑cost vane pumps, gear-based hydraulic cylinder drivers, or sub‑assemblies requiring value-driven feedback.

These lower-cost sensors prioritize simplicity: minimal calibration, plug‑and‑play operation, and straightforward interface wiring. They are ideal for linking to servo motor drives or small hydraulic cylinders where ±0.5 mm accuracy is not essential, but stable feedback over multiple cycles is. For example, in mobile equipment actuators or repetitive press motions, these sensors eliminate guesswork while keeping system cost manageable.

THM Huade also offers OEM packaging—bulk pricing, simplified connector options, and protective sleeves—enabling scaled deployment across fleets or production lines. Combined with affordable internal gear pumps, small hydraulic motors, or fixed piston pump systems, these sensors complete a highly cost‑efficient fluid power control loop.

In short, THM Huade’s low‑cost linear position sensor series provides value-conscious customers with dependable positional feedback—without sacrificing essential quality or durability required in hydraulic contexts.
