Capacitive linear position sensors are designed primarily to take noncontact measurements of position, displacement, vibration, and run out or thickness measurements. These sensors can be used on conductive and nonconductive target materials, but may be sensitive to environmental parameters that change the dielectric constant of the medium between the sensor and the target (usually air).


Products & Services Related to Linear Position Sensors, Capacitive
Cable Extension Linear Position Sensors
Cable extension linear position sensors are used to measure the movement and displacement of objects. A cable or wire is attached to an object, and as the object moves, the transducer produces an electrical signal proportional to the wire's linear extension.
Linear Position Sensors and Switches, Ultrasonic
Linear position sensors and switches, ultrasonic, are used for position and displacement sensing, using ultrasonic technology.
Linear Position Sensors, Eddy Current
Eddy current linear position sensors detect the distance from a target by using magnetic fields generated by a reference and sensing coils.
Linear Position Sensors, Fiber Optic
Fiber optic linear position sensors use fiber optic technology to sense position and displacement.
Linear Position Sensors, LVDT
Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) linear position sensors have a series of inductors in a hollow cylindrical shaft and a solid cylindrical core. These devices produce an electrical output proportional to the position of the core
Photoelectric Sensors
Photoelectric sensors use emitters and receivers to detect the presence, absence, or distance of target objects.
Position Sensors, Optical Triangulation
Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves to pinpoint position and displacement.
