They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

Temposonics magnetostrictive sensors provide high speed, accuracy and durability in the varied tasks of linear position sensing for industrial automation equipment and machinery. The EtherNet/IP ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

The 40 LHE linear position sensor from Vishay measures strokes from 0 to 40 mm with ±1% full-stroke accuracy. Using Hall ...

While previous-generation devices offered electrical strokes up to 10 mm, the 40 LHE extends this capability to 40 mm.

But their limited range and linearity limit many of their applications to detecting odd or irregularly shaped targets rather than actual position. On the other hand, inductive linear-position sensors ...

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI—Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC(HGSI) has released its ILPS-45 series of inductive, contactless linear position sensors using LVIT Technology. The ILPS-45 linear position ...

Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...

Calibration is necessary before the installation of an AC- operated linear position sensor to ensure accuracy. Calibration corrects any slight variances between sensors, helping to improve ...
