Summary
Safe, reliable control of weathertight doors is essential for shipbuilders. Doors rest against compressible seals; double-acting hydraulic cylinders open and close multiple latches that secure the doors. Designers require a means of confirming the status of latches, capable of withstanding the aggressive marine environment. DNV-GL-approved High-Pressure inductive sensors from Contrinex, embedded into each cylinder, are sea-water resistant, providing a cost-effective solution that delivers proven reliability.
