Eddy current linear position sensors detect the distance from a target by using magnetic fields generated by a reference and sensing coils

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

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

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

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

Dynamometers are used in motor and engine testing. These devices apply braking or drag resistance to rotation, and measure torque at various speeds and power input levels.

Eddy current instruments are nondestructive testing (NDT) devices that induce detectable eddy currents in conductive materials. They are used to detect flaws, determine thickness, inspect welds, measure conductivity, and sort alloys

Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) linear position sensors have a series of inductors in a hollow cylindrical shaft and a solid cylindrical core. These devices produce an electrical output proportional to the position of the core

Eddy current probes induce detectable eddy currents in ferrous and nonferrous material for flaw detection, weld inspection, and other nondestructive test applications

Variable reluctance linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that use variable reluctance based technology, and whose output signal represents the distance between an object and a reference point

Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. They are capable of extremely high speeds, quick acceleration, and accurate positioning

Electric linear actuators have an output rod that provides linear motion via a motor driven ball screw, lead screw, or ACME screw assembly. The actuator's load is attached to the end of a screw or rod and is often unsupported

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

Inductive linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that determine an object's coordinates (linear or angular) with respect to a reference

Eddy current proximity sensors and switches detect the proximity or presence of a target by sensing the magnetic fields generated by a reference coil
