Linear position sensors
Linear position sensors measure the displacement of a moving component and transmit its position to a PLC or control system. They are used to track cylinder stroke, position axes and regulate mechanisms in presses, machine tools and handling equipment. Technologies include potentiometric, magnetostrictive and magnetic sensors, as well as linear encoders. Selection depends on stroke length, accuracy, resolution, travel speed and available mounting space. Output signal and mechanical protection must also suit the installation and operating environment.
