These devices, known as linear-position and displacement sensors, are proportionaloutput devices that continuously indicate position. They are not threshold-type devices, like proximity sensors ...

TURCK’s magnetically actuated linear displacement sensor is available with measuring ranges of 100, 125, 160 and 200 mm. The Q25L sensor is well-suited for applications that require precise signal ...

For precise displacement measurements, linear Hall-effect sensors are preferable ... Figure 1 illustrates the transfer functions for each type of sensor, including the variations available.

More advanced iterations of the inductive displacement sensor include linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs). These look similar to transformers except that the induced current in the ...

VDC forecasts that growth in optical-type devices will be the fastest ... is expected to be the fastest growing among the linear displacement sensor products at 8.5 percent through 2007.
