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

Rotary position sensors include potentiometers, resolvers and a variety of magnetic and capacitive technologies. Sensors are designed for angular displacement less than one turn or for multiturn displacement

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

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

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

Hall effect position sensors are noncontact devices that function via an electrical potential (for example, a voltage) that is developed across an axis perpendicular to an applied current flow and the presence of a magnetic field

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

Noncontact safety interlock switches couple a moveable guard door with the power source of the hazard. For noncontact actuating interlock switches, the guard door is linked to the control circuit contacts via a magnetic or electronic field

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

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

Magnetic proximity sensors include devices that work on inductive, variable reluctance, magneto resistive or Hall effect principles. Proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of an object using a critical distance

Photoelectric safety sensors detect objects by using the properties of light sensitive elements

Inductive proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of an object using a critical distance

Valve position indicators are devices that show the position of the closure element
