Stroke & mounting
Define the useful travel, mounting centres, coupling alignment and clearance through the full machine movement. Misalignment is a common cause of early wear.
Application / Injection Moulding
Linear position feedback for injection moulding machines.
Injection moulding machines need reliable linear position feedback on the clamp unit, the injection stroke and other moving mechanisms. Cooka offers the CLP25 linear position sensor with a 25 mm stroke and the LEC rod-style displacement sensor as starting formats, configured to the travel and mounting of your machine.
Requirements
What the sensor has to handle
Signal & dynamics
Match the output to the machine controller and review response, repeatability and the cycle rate of the moulding process.
Machine environment
Specify temperature, vibration, oil and dust contamination and cable routing, and agree the evaluation conditions for the chosen configuration.

Selection
How to choose
- Measure the useful stroke on the machine and the installation length available.
- Choose the format: a compact sensor such as the CLP25 for short strokes, or a rod-style LEC for longer machine travel.
- Define how the moving part couples to the mechanism and the mounting references.
- Specify the controller interface and supply.
- List the environment (temperature, vibration, contamination) and request samples for machine evaluation.

Buying questions
Injection Moulding FAQ
Which Cooka sensors suit injection moulding machines?
The CLP25 linear position sensor (25 mm stroke, alloy housing) and the LEC rod-style displacement sensor are Cooka’s starting formats for clamp and injection-stroke feedback.
Can Cooka match the stroke of my machine?
Yes. Send the useful travel, installation length and mounting references; Cooka reviews the configuration against your machine drawing.
What information should I send for a moulding-machine sensor?
Stroke, installation length, mounting and coupling, controller interface and supply, operating environment and expected quantity.
What is the MOQ for Cooka sensors?
The minimum order quantity starts at 10 pieces for standard configurations; custom configurations are quoted per project.
What is the lead time?
Lead time is 3–7 days for in-stock configurations.
Are free samples available?
Yes. Cooka provides free samples for qualified projects.
