Position Sensors

Angle and linear position measuring sensors use capacitive, Hall effect, inductive, LVDT, LVIT, magnetoresistive, optical or resistive technology to determine the position of the sensor's actuator relative to a reference point. Angle position sensors are differentiated by their electrical or mechanical range in either a limited or continuous rotation range. Linear position sensors are differentiated by ranges from 0 up to 400 inches. Other considerations include actuator type, output type and signal, mounting type and percent linearity.
