Absolute rotary position sensing with zero wear
Using RDP's capacitive non-contact measurement technique, the RCDT rotary displacement transducer accurately measures the absolute position of its shaft in relation to its body.
Hydraulic Presses is also an RDP customer, replacing pre-used machines' sensors with new RDP versions as a matter of course.
One recent project involved the complete refurbishment of a press which had been in constant use from the time of its initial installation in 1974.
