In driving systems using working fluids, for monitoring the fluid’s parameters such as pressure, flow and temperature appropriate transducers are present in different areas of the system. Such an approach has certain disadvantages with regard to the installation and powering of the transducers as well as the transmission of the signals supplied by the transducers to the system’s electronics command block. Both hydraulic and pneumatic driving systems are considered. The paper proposes a sensor block which integrates the above mentioned sensors and eliminates the previously outlined disadvantages. The proposed block can be designed for an easy installation in a driving system containing a pneumatic linear motor; basically for a standardised motor one of the caps is replaced with the proposed block. An example is also shown for the integration of the proposed block in the structure of a pneutronic system.
