Definitions

  • This invention relates to non-contact positional sensing systems and has particular reference to non-contact positional sensing systems for a piston movable longitudinally within a cylinder.
  • Non-contact positional sensing of pneumatic cylinder pistons is common practice. Normally, a magnet is fitted to the piston and a reed switch or magnetically sensitive proximity sensors are attached to the cylinder barrel around its diameter.
  • the magnets which have been used heretofor have been of the ring type in various materials dependent upon the required field strength. Typical examples have been Samarium Cobalt, Ceramic Ferrite or a plastics material with a ferrite filler.
  • the magnetic ring may be located between split piston halves.
  • a non-contact positional sensing system for a piston movable longitudinally within a cylinder in which the cylinder is formed of non-ferromagnetic material, there is a magnetically sensitive proximity sensor on the outside of the cylinder and the piston is magnetic, characterised in that the piston is formed substantially entirely from magnetic material.
  • the piston may be moulded from magnetic material.
  • the magnetic material may comprise magnetic particles in a non-magnetic matrix.
  • the piston may be moulded by injection moulding.
  • the proportion of magnetic particles is preferably as high as practical and may be in the range 60-90% or 70-90% or 80-90% of the material.
  • the plastics material may be nylon and is preferably nylon 6/10.
  • the magnetic material may be a strontium ferrite filler. There may be present 88% by weight of strontium ferrite material.
  • the piston may be provided with non-magnetic seals which may be of conventional form.
  • the seals may be cup seals or 'O' ring seals or disc seals.
  • a piston comprising a pair of moulded plastics halves 1, 2 which are conjoined together by an inner sleeve 3.
  • the two halves 1 and 2 trap between them a ring magnet 4.
  • the pair of seals 5, 6 seal the piston within a cylinder.
  • the cylinder and proximity sensors are well known and conventional and are not described herein.
  • the magnetic piston comprises an injection moulded body 7 formed of 6/10 nylon containing 88% by weight of strontium ferrite.
  • the piston has a blind bore 8 permitting it to be attached to a piston rod, further piston or other piston follower.
  • Cup seals 9 and 10 seal the piston within the cylinder.
  • the piston may be a hollow piston as shown in Figure 3 in which the piston 11 is in the form of an injection moulded tubular member having cup seals 12 and 13.
  • the piston is formed almost entirely of magnetic material, significant savings in the length of the piston can be achieved by using a moulded form of magnetic material.
