Position Sensors

Regal Components offers a wide range of position sensors suitable for various applications. We categorize them into three distinct sensor categories. Regasense® is our trademark of cylinder sensors.

We have an extensive assortment of position sensors used in a wide variety of applications. Our position sensors are categorized as cylinder sensors, linear sensors, and rotary or angle sensors.

Cylinder sensors are linear position sensors designed to be installed inside hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The sensors are based on various sensor technologies such as potentiometers, inductive, intelligent Hall-effect, or magneto strictive, to ensure the best fit for a range of different applications.

Linear position sensors offer a wide range of design options, ranging from small and compact to heavy-duty. Based on potentiometer, inductive, magneto strictive, or Hall-effect technology.

Rotary or angle sensors, sometimes also referred to as “encoders”, are based on potentiometer or Hall-effect sensor technology. Options include absolute sensors, multiturn sensors, and incremental rotary encoders.

Regasense®

Regasense® is our trademark of cylinder sensors designed by Regal Components. Some Regasense® sensors can be found on our product pages, but many are developed as custom-solutions for various customers. With in-house product development and production, we have the capability to design and manufacture custom-designed sensors and transducers.

Regal Sensor Solutions

Products of Regal Sensor Solutions are developed and produced in collaboration with our partner companies. We provide a range of additional options, including cable assemblies, software design, custom mechanics, and other services.

Articulated Steering

Articulated vehicles have a pivot joint in their design, enabling the front of the vehicle to turn relative to the rear. These vehicles are more agile and easier to maneuver, making them ideal for small spaces where precision is necessary, and for increased safety and comfort for the operator. The agile steering also allows the rear wheels to follow the path of the front wheels, resulting in less soil damage, a common requirement for forestry and agricultural machinery.

To control the movement of the front and rear, position feedback signals are necessary. This can be achieved with various position sensors and designs.

A very robust and reliable sensor solution is to use cylinder sensors in the hydraulic cylinders that connect the front and rear of the vehicle. An alternative solution is to place an angular sensor in the joint between the front and rear; this approach is practical in vehicle-trailer combinations where there are no hydraulic cylinders connecting the two.

“The right sensor in the right place. We have long experience of custom-design sensor development to achieve the best positioning solution for each application.”
