Linear position sensors and linear potentiometers for measuring position, displacement and distance. Linear position sensors are instrumental in gauging the separation between an object and a designated reference point, while also detecting alterations in position. They accomplish this by translating displacement into an electrical signal. An array of measurement principles is available, facilitating accurate and dependable measurements across a diverse spectrum of applications. These linear position sensors and measurement systems are deployed not only in industrial settings but also find utility in scientific research laboratories.
We offer standard linear position sensors but can also help you with a customized design or a complete measurement solution.
Linear position sensors convert displacement of an object into an output signal. Reliable and accurate displacement measurements, that is the right description for our linear position sensors (potentiometers). The resistance value depends on the position of the runner and can be changed mechanically (by moving it in a straight line). Our sensors for position, displacement and distance, offer a wide variety of technology. Linear position sensors are used for industrial applications as well as in research and scientific laboratories. Strokes ranges from 10mm up to 1000mm. They enable distance measurements up to 50m and are available in various designs, also in very small sizes.
A linear (magnetic) Hall effect sensor uses the Hall effect (named after Edwin Hall). A magnetic hall effectsensor converts magnetically or magnetically encoded information into electrical signals. Magnetic Hall-effect sensors are very solid sensors that can be used to measure speed, position or distance, among other things. Electronics engineers often opt for hall-effect sensors due to their non-contact wear-free operation, the low-maintenance and robust design. Hall effect sensors are immune to vibrations, dust and water.
These robust sensors measure the distance between two points. They consist of a fixed base, a waveguide, a movable permanent magnet and a transducer that converts a mechanical vibration into an electrical signal. These sensors are suitable for a wide range of applications, even under extreme conditions. They are largely resistant to temperature, shock, vibration and contamination.
