From the hydraulic system to the digital drive solution

Sensors and actuators with IO-Link have now become a standard in automation technology. However, the standardized IO-Link protocol (IEC 61131-9) also offers significant advantages in fluid power technology when it comes to project planning, commissioning and monitoring components and the system status:

Analysis, data documentation in the cloud
Monitoring, visualization of collected data
Autonomous axis in the field level
Detecting liquid media flow with BFF thermal flow controller
Temperature measurement with BFT temperature sensors
Valve parameterization via IO-Link
Pressure measurement with BSP pressure sensors
Continuous level detection BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors
Level monitoring using limit value detection with BCS capacitive sensors

Hydraulic power unit monitoring

A powerful hydraulic pump or compressor and the corresponding e-motor is the heart of many production systems. With the Condition Monitoring Toolkit you get a holistic system to collect and analyze your machine condition data. Our toolkit can evaluate physical variables on your hydraulic unit and keep you reliably informed about significant deviations at an early stage so you can intervene.

Explosion protection

Fluid power components are also used in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Examples include the monitoring of hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, the monitoring of hydraulically and pneumatically controlled valves and oil or fill level detection. Balluff offers a range of sensors and transducers with corresponding regional certifications.
