The output options and user adjustability of analog sensors make them the original plug-and-play devices, and their simplicity frees control engineers to develop control algorithms without worrying ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

Real-world applications for linear position sensors can be challenging. High humidity, ambient temperature variations, high pressure wash down, and exposure to caustic chemicals can all take a toll on ...
