Position Sensors and Position-Sensing Instruments

 

 

Position sensors include wide range of sensors, switches and technologies that are used to determine the placement, speed or movement, direction, and location of a given target. Linear position devices include cable extension, capacitive, eddy current, fiber optic, Hall effect, inductive, magneto resistive, optical triangulation, photoelectric, position displacement, ultrasonic, and variable resistance technology sensors. Position-sensing instruments also include laser micrometers, linear encoders, linear potentiometers, and linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs). Rotary position sensors include rotary encoders and angular position sensors. Orientation position sensors include encoders, inertial gyros, and inclinometers.
