Fiber optic linear position sensors use fiber optic technology to sense position and displacement

Linear position sensors, all types, is a general search form for all linear position / displacement detection product areas

Fiber optic proximity sensors use fiber optic technology to detect the proximity of target objects

Magnetostrictive position sensors are non-contact linear position sensors that use the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields to produce a strain pulse that moves along a waveguide. One field is from a magnet that moves along the outside of the waveguide. The other field is from the waveguide itself

Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves to pinpoint position and displacement

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position change for positional measurement and feedback to control systems

Position probes measure the position of a target surface, usually with a high degree of accuracy. This search form covers many different linear position products

Optical time of flight sensors determine displacement and distance by measuring the time it takes light to travel from the instrument to a target and back

Hall effect proximity sensors are used to detect the proximity, presence or absence of a magnetic object using a critical distance

Photoelectric sensors use emitters and receivers to detect the presence, absence, or distance of target objects.

Inertial and gyro systems use a combination of accelerometers and angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) to detect altitude, location, and motion. They may also be capable of detecting attitude, position, velocity, temperature, or magnetic field

Multi-axis Positioning Systems make use of linear, rotary and goniometric stages, slides and drives in various combinations to create standard and custom positioning systems

Interferometers measure distance in terms of wavelength and determine the wavelengths of light sources.

Photodiodes are used for the detection of optical power (UV, Visible, and IR) and for the conversion of optical power to electrical power.

Stroboscope instruments are used for inspection and observation of moving parts by freezing or slowing down the action of an object.
