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, all types, is a general search form for all linear position / displacement detection product areas

Position probes measure the position of a target surface, usually with a high degree of accuracy.

Hall effect proximity sensors are used to detect the proximity, presence or absence of a magnetic object using a critical distance

Shock absorbers, linear dampers, and dashpots provide motion damping in linear applications.

Inertial and gyro systems use a combination of accelerometers and angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) to detect altitude, location, and motion.

Dynamometers are used in motor and engine testing.
