This sensor is compact in size with an M14 x 1.5 thread, making it suitable for use in double-acting steering cylinders. A magnet is attached to the piston, transmitting position information to the sensor through the non-magnetic cylinder wall. By using two external sensors, it has a redundant function, meeting high safety requirements. In addition to external use with double rod cylinders, it is also suitable for direct attachment to differential cylinders via screws. In this type of installation, a ring magnet attached to the piston slides the sensor to perform position measurement. In other words, the model MB offers the flexibility to install the sensor inside the cylinder or externally. This new M series sensor allows for the complete integration of the sensor into the hydraulic cylinder.

The recognition that "the PDF invoice received from the other party must be stored as electronic data" is widely accepted. However, is that response truly sufficient for perfection? ◆ The "receipt" of electronic transactions includes issuance and delivery The Electronic Bookkeeping Act defines "electronic transactions" as the receipt of electromagnetic records related to transaction information. Breaking down the term "receipt" is key to understanding. - "Receipt": Receiving electronic data such as invoices and receipts from business partners - "Issuance": Issuing and delivering electronic data such as invoices and estimates to business partners When downloading a PDF from your company's accounting system and attaching it to an email, or concluding electronic contracts through a cloud-based invoicing service, both the receiving party and the issuing party (your company) are obligated to store the data. 【Utilizing paperlogic DESKTOP for document management】 - Elimination of manual input - Assurance of reliable searchability - Centralized management of receipt and issuance → paperlogic DESKTOP addresses the challenges of complex metadata management in the storage of these issued documents.
