Inductive Linear Position Sensors and Switches Specifications

Help with Inductive Linear Position Sensors and Switches specifications:

Specifications

	Measurement Range		Range of distance measurement, or maximum distance measured.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Accuracy		Accuracy describes the percent deviation from the actual/real value of the measurement.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Linearity		Linearity is the maximum deviation from direct proportionality between the distance measured and the output distance over the measuring range.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Operating Temperature		The temperature range over which the device must operate.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Electrical

	Power Requirements
	Your choices are...
	AC Powered		The sensor requires an AC voltage.
	DC Powered		The sensor requires a DC voltage.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Output
	Your choices are...
	Voltage		Output voltage is a simple (usually linear) function of the measurement.
	Current		Often called a transmitter. A current is imposed on the output circuit proportional to the measurement. Feedback is used to provide the appropriate current regardless of line noise, impedance, etc. Useful when sending signals over long distances.
	Frequency		The output signal is encoded via amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or some other modulation scheme, but the signal is still analog in nature.
	Resistance		An output consisting of a simple change in resistance, typically for a magnetoresistive device.
	Switched / Alarm		An "output" of a change in state of switches or alarms.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Interface
	Your choices are...
	Serial		A standard digital output protocol (serial) such as RS232, etc.
	Parallel		A standard digital output protocol (parallel) such as IEEE488, etc.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Body Shape

	Body
	Your choices are...
	Cylindrical		A potentiometer body is shaped like a cylinder/barrel.
	Rectangular		A potentiometer body is square or rectangular.
	Ring		A round or "doughnut"-shaped sensor, in which an object passes through center of ring.
	Slot		Designed to detect the presence of a vane or tab as it passes through a sensing slot, or "U" channel.
	Other		The body shape is other/specialty.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Threaded Barrel
	Your choices are...
	Threaded Barrel		Body exterior is threaded; often comes with mating nuts for panel mounting.
	Search Logic:		Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
