Linear position sensors and transducers

Accurately measure in a linear motion with position transducers offering excellent repeatability and accuracy with stroke lengths up to 1 metre.

The same Hall Effect sensor devices used for measurement of rotary position can be configured to measure the linear position of a magnet in a measurement range of 5mm up to up to ca. 50mm. These are available in both contacting and non-contacting technologies and offer friction free magnetic coupling for extremely long-life cycles.

With self-aligning spherical bearing mounts and an improved O-ring and felt shaft sealing arrangement, the range provides up to ± 0.1% independent linearity and positioning repeatability to 0.01mm.

The conductive plastic resistance element technology used maintains complete and even contact with very low electrical noise, even under the most arduous physical and environmental conditions and are robust enough to be used throughout many industries, such as industrial, medical, machinery and automotive applications.
