Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position change for positional measurement and feedback to control systems. Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Encoders
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. Search by Specification | Learn More about Magnetostrictive Position Sensors
Linear position sensors is a general search form for all linear position / displacement detection product areas. Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Position Sensors
Incremental rotary encoders are multi-turn sensors that use optical, mechanical, or magnetic index-counting for angular measurement. They contain no absolute reference, but instead count relative to the turn-on position. Search by Specification | Learn More about Incremental Rotary Encoders
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. Search by Specification | Learn More about Position Probes
Rotary encoder disks are round or disk-shaped and have evenly-spaced holes or markings around their perimeter. Learn More about Rotary Encoder Disks
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. Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Actuators
Cable extension linear position sensors are used to measure the movement and displacement of objects. A cable or wire is attached to an object, and as the object moves, the transducer produces an electrical signal proportional to the wire's linear extension. Search by Specification | Learn More about Cable Extension Linear Position Sensors
Digital encoders convert coded information into a familiar or uncoded format. Search by Specification | Learn More about Digital Encoders
Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis. Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Slides and Linear Stages
Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. They are capable of extremely high speeds, quick acceleration, and accurate positioning. Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Motors
Motion control systems contain matched components such as controllers, motor drives, motors, encoders, user interfaces and software. Components in these systems are optimally matched by the manufacturer. Search by Specification | Learn More about Motion Control Systems
Absolute rotary encoders use optical, mechanical, or magnetic indexing for angular measurement. They do not lose their position after power-down, but instead provide absolute position upon power-up without requiring a home cycle or any shaft rotation. Search by Specification | Learn More about Absolute Rotary Encoders
Continuous duty linear solenoids convert electrical energy into mechanical power via a plunger with an axial stroke in either a push or pull action. They are rated for a 100% duty cycle. Search by Specification | Learn More about Continuous Duty Linear Solenoids
Intermittent duty linear solenoids convert electrical energy into mechanical power via a plunger with an axial stroke in either a push or pull action. They are rated for on-off applications at less than 100% duty cycle. Search by Specification | Learn More about Intermittent Duty Linear Solenoids
