Simplicity and power never go against each other.

Safe and efficient force measurement in Liebherr hydraulic cylinders

At the Liebherr plant in Kirchdorf am Ille, Germany，Its component products division is increasingly focused on sensor solutions and their efficient use in hydraulic cylinders.。The driving factor of interest is the force measurement in the cylinder。

When an accurate and dynamic measurement of the force in the hydraulic cylinder is required，This can reflect its advantages.。This is the case when monitoring the load of excavators and cranes。In this way，Dangerous situations during crane operation can be avoided，And improve the operation efficiency of the machine.。In general, the main force in the cylinder is indirectly determined by the oil pressure.，However, these measurements are susceptible to error due to internal friction，So this is why Liebherr is required to measure force directly through strain by means of force measuring sensors。

Another advantage is that the internal measuring points track the tensile and compressive forces，Regardless of lateral forces and torques。Liebherr partsKirchdorf GmbHSenior Development LeaderHans-Peter LaverneExplain：“This measurement method ensures significantly more accurate and dynamic measurement results。This creates favorable conditions for improving the operation efficiency and safety of daily use in various applications.。”

Intelligent customization，More possibilities

At this point，Liebherr's force measurement for hydraulic cylinders is an operational prototype in the form of a sensor.。It especially shines because of its high degree of application diversity.。In the design phase，The Liebherr development team will always examine and make individual adjustments taking into account the individual wishes and needs of users.，This allows Liebherr to offer customized solutions.。

Small sensor，Great advantage

The optimized force measurement brings further advantages.。These measures include improving the performance of the auxiliary system by optimizing the sensitivity。Due to the highly dynamic and accurate measurement，Future service life may also be longer.。This will not only gain a strong voice in condition monitoring.，It can play a decisive role in reducing size.。
