Sensors have become a common part of many hydraulic systems as a means of collecting data on system and machine performance, enabling better insights to improve maintenance and more. The top piece in today’s newsletter reviews some of the commonly used sensors in hydraulic systems, such as those which measure pressure and flow, as well as tips for integrating these sensors.

As the use of sensors in fluid power and other systems continues to grow, so too will the need to understand what options exist in the market and how best to use them.
