Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0015] As Figure 1 shown, a displacement cylinder with a sensor includes a displacement cylinder 2 and a magnetic-ring displacement sensor 4. The magnetic-ring displacement sensor 4 is arranged inside the displacement cylinder 2, and both ends of the displacement cylinder 2 are installed on the inner side of the catwalk lifting arm 5 through connecting parts. The displacement cylinder 2 includes a fork head 2.1, a piston rod 2.3, an end cover 2.2, a cylinder sleeve 2.4, and a support 2.5. One end of the piston rod 2.3 extending out of the end cover 2.2 is fixedly connected to the fork head. The piston rod 2.3 is arranged inside the cylinder sleeve 2.4. One end of the cylinder sleeve is fixedly connected to the support 2.5, and the other end of the cylinder sleeve is fixedly connected to the end cover 2.2.
