Programmable position cylinder

iNSiGHT programmable position cylinder is a repairable tie-rod air cylinder with embedded electronics providing a pair of user programmable stop points. It features  NFPA or non-NFPA configurations and is rated for pressures to 130 psi using 5 µm filtered dry air. It uses QVLA technology, which is LED light-based and measures interior light changes within a cylinder. As the piston moves, volume between end cap and piston varies. QVLA illuminates and measures this volume. It features two NC outputs and uses 6-12 V supply voltage.
