The evolution of position sensing technology has taken a smart step forward with the Intellinder Absolute Position Sensor design. By integrating a highly engineered sensor into the hydraulic cylinder, this Parker design eliminates the time and cost associated with gun drilling, as well as unprotected external sensors with complex linkages. Cylinder feedback installation is virtually plug-and-play. 

The Intellinder Sensor signals absolute positioning, rather than position relative to the starting location of the rod. Position identifying bar codes are marked right on the rod so its position is communicated continually and directly to the controller. Position report occurs at power-on. Our design allows for full utilization of double-rod cylinder applications requiring position feedback.

This proprietary technology has undergone exhaustive laboratory and field testing to validate its ability to maintain signal fidelity in extremely challenging environments.
