Advantage :

- Can be used for horizontal and vertical accumulator positioning

- Can be adjusted to different strokes
- Tolerate high piston speed
- Is tested and proven over several years
- Is protected from external collision

Description of equipment :

- The internal wire system can operate until max piston speed 2.5 m/s
- The electrical pass-through is used up to 350 bar working pressure.
- The standard version foresees an electrical box with 4-20 mA converter.

General description of the piston position indicator with a wire indicator for piston
accumulator with internal diameter 250/350 mm.

The system is intended for

- Max working pressure PS 350 bar
- Temperature Range -20/+80 °C
- Liquid group 1, 2 according to PED / Nitrogen gas (N2)
- Maximum stroke length 4000 mm
- For not intensive use (according to bearing and potentiometer life)

The wire-indicators (point 1 fig.1) major parts are a reel of line, a precision
potentiometer , a wire holder and gear , all inside a box.
The wire is connected to the piston with a small lifting eyebolt with a hook. The wire
holder is connected by a shaft to gears and potentiometer.
The electrical cable connected to the potentiometer exits from the chamber by high
pressure electrical connection (point 3 fig.1) located in the cap. A stroke limited has
to be installed, which reduces the stroke by 10 mm for piston ID 350 mm and 100
mm for piston ID 250 mm. This is to protect the indicator from the piston.

The resistance in the potentiometer is 0-1 KΩ and emits a signal proportional to the
piston movement. The standard signal converter change resistance signal (0-1 KΩ) in
current signal (4-20 mA), by power supply (24 Vdc).

Each unit is tested before delivery to make sure it operates Ok. The converter is
calibrated to the actual stroke of the accumulator.

The system output with connector type Lumberg KVA50/6 (Female) 5 Pin , anyway
is possible to order cable connector Lumberg SFV50/6 (Male) with wire end length
2 mt.
