Product Description
APOLLO TYP11 Leveling Sensor 14317390 with 6-pin Screw Thread for Asphalt Paver
Premium Leveling Sensor for Asphalt Paving Equipment
The Leveling Sensor 14317390 TYP11 is a critical, high-precision component engineered specifically for the demanding environment of asphalt paving equipment. As a 6-pin, screw-thread mounted sensor (Typ 11), it forms the core of the machine's automatic grade and slope control system, ensuring the laid asphalt mat achieves the exactitude required for a smooth, durable, and specification-compliant road surface.
Core Function & Purpose
This sensor acts as the "electronic eye" of the paver's leveling system. It continuously monitors the vertical position of the screed relative to a reference—either a fixed grade wire (stringline) or an existing surface (mobile reference). By providing real-time, high-accuracy positional feedback to the paver's control console, it enables the automatic adjustment of the screed's hydraulic cylinders. This closed-loop control is essential for maintaining constant mat thickness, precise grade, and proper cross-slope, compensating for variations in the base surface.
Key Features & Engineering Highlights
High-Precision Measurement: Utilizes robust non-contact sensing technology (typically ultrasonic or laser) to deliver stable, accurate, and repeatable distance measurements. This is fundamental to achieving tight paving tolerances.
Robust "Typ 11" Screw-Thread Housing: The defining TYP11 designation refers to its standardized, rugged threaded barrel housing. This design ensures a secure, vibration-resistant, and sealed mounting directly onto the paver's mast or sensor arm, protecting the internal electronics.
6-Pin Electrical Connector: The 6-pin configuration provides the necessary connections for power, ground, signal output (often both analog and digital), and diagnostic communication. This industry-standard interface ensures compatibility with major paver control systems from manufacturers like MOBA, Somero, Sauer-Danfoss, and Topcon.
Built for the Job Site: Engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of asphalt paving, including high temperatures, vibrations, dust, moisture ingress, and mechanical shock.
OEM-Equivalent Quality (Part # 14317390): Meets or exceeds the original equipment manufacturer's specifications, guaranteeing precise fit, flawless function, and long-term reliability as a direct replacement or upgrade part.
Primary Application
Essential component for the automatic screed control system on all modern asphalt paving machines, from road finishers to highway class pavers. Enables precise grade control (elevation) and slope control (crossfall) in both stringline mode and mobile reference/float mode.
