The connecting part includes a body with a first section having a first section diameter matching the inner portion first diameter and a second section having a second section diameter matching the outer portion second diameter. A fixation disc is configured to lock the connecting part into the tiered cable opening when the cables of the cable connection system are adjusted to the desired angular position. The fixation disc has a central opening configured to fit the second section diameter and a shaped outer contour having a diameter configured to press into the outer portion.

An actuator capable of preventing the inside of a cylinder from being scratched is provided. A two-way piston includes a cylinder having an opening, a piston, and a stroke sensor that detects a position of the piston. The stroke sensor includes a stay that extends from a portion exposed from the opening of the piston to the outside of the cylinder, a member to be detected that is attached to the stay, and a sensor that detects a position of the member to be detected. The piston including a fixing hole having a depth smaller than a diameter of the piston in the portion exposed from the opening. The stay is fixed by a bolt that is inserted into the fixing hole.

A fluidic cylinder has a cylinder tube having a cylinder chamber defined in an interior thereof has a pair of cover members attached to respective ends of the cylinder tube. A piston is disposed displaceably along the cylinder chamber, and a piston rod is connected to the piston. The piston and the cylinder tube are formed with rectangular shapes in cross section, the piston includes a wear ring which is in sliding contact with an inner wall surface of the cylinder tube, and a magnet is incorporated in the wear ring. At least one of the cover members includes bolt holes therein, the bolt holes extending in at least two or more directions including a direction in which the piston is displaced, and fastening bolts are selectively inserted into the bolt holes to fix the at least one of the cover members with respect to another member.

A system, a method, and an apparatus to retain an in-cylinder linear position sensor in a cavity of a housing of a hydraulic cylinder assembly are described. The in-cylinder linear position sensor includes a sensor body that houses circuitry of the in-cylinder linear position sensor, and a sensor cap that extends from an upper surface of the sensor body. The sensor cap has a retention mechanism with a portion that extends radially outward relative to a central vertical axis of the sensor body so as to extend into and engage a wall of an access port of the housing to hold the in-cylinder linear position sensor in the cavity of the housing. The portion of the retention mechanism is configured to move inward from an outer position toward the central vertical axis of the sensor body.

A hydraulic fluid cylinder is equipped with a cylinder tube, a piston unit, and a piston rod. The piston unit has a piston body provided with a gasket-mounting groove. A gasket member is mounted in the gasket mounting groove. The gasket member has a gasket body provided with a magnet-mounting groove exhibiting groove depth in the axial direction of the piston unit, and also has a magnet mounted in the magnet-mounting groove.

A fluid processing apparatus having a housing (2), which at least substantially seals a fluid chamber fluid chamber (18, 20) from the external environment. At least one sensor device (26, 40, 60) provides information regarding the state of the fluid located in the fluid chamber (18, 20), such as pressure, moisture level, temperature or viscosity and/or provides information regarding the motion of a separating element (16) that can be moved within the fluid chamber (18, 29). At least one component (40, 60) of the sensor device can be included as an interchangeable, modular component in a part (6) of the housing (2) such that the component (40, 60) has an inlet (42) to the fluid located in the fluid chamber (18, 20).

A sensor attachment tool is provided with a rail-shaped sensor holder having a sensor insertion groove for accommodatably holding a position sensor so that the position of the position sensor can be adjusted, a band part linkable at both ends to the sensor holder and configured so as to be fitted over the outer peripheral surface of a cylinder tube along the peripheral direction, and a tightening mechanism for tightening the band part, the tightening mechanism being arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder tube in a different peripheral position than the sensor holder.

A fitting band includes an annular portion wound and attached around an outer periphery of a cylinder tube, a pair of sensor holding portions that are formed at both ends of the annular portion and that pinches a position sensor, the pair of sensor holding portions being fastened from both sides with a fastening screw, the sensor holding portions being formed by providing reinforcing plates on outer surfaces of reinforcing plate attaching portions at end portions of the band main body in a superposed manner, tip edges of the reinforcing plate attaching portions being formed in straight lines, inclined portions being formed in distal end portions of the reinforcing plates, the tip edges of the reinforcing plate attaching portions extending along folding lines of the inclined portions.

A sensor mounting tool includes: a rail-shaped sensor holder having a first side wall in which a first connection hole is formed; a band part that has a first projection part, and that is formed to be wound on the outer peripheral surface of a cylinder tube; and a fastening mechanism that is for fastening the band part, and that is arranged at a position shifted away from the sensor holder on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder tube.
