Reliable cylinder sensors
With reliable cylinder sensors, hydraulic systems master the greatest challenges. For optimum regulation of complex hydraulic systems, we integrate a broad spectrum of sensors in our hydraulic cylinders.
Sensors allow (partially) automated processes/procedures to be realised that increase the productivity of mobile machinery, among other things. Furthermore, we prepare our products for Industrie 4.0. The use of sensors is indispensable for safety-critical applications, too.
Flexible system solutions

Hydraulics system with sensor technology
In terms of customer-specific requirements, we offer flexible system solutions with our “cylinders+X” in combination with different hydraulic components. We aspire to offer the optimum sensor solution for every task. To do this, Liebherr employs trusted sensor components from renowned manufacturers and supplements these where required with innovative in-house developments. From advice to development and further to commissioning of the complete system – Liebherr customers profits from our high application expertise.
