Switches are devices that allow electric current to flow when closed and prevent current flow when opened.

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

Magneto resistive linear position sensors and switches have a linear resistance output signal representing the distance an object is from a reference point

Variable reluctance linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that use variable reluctance based technology, and whose output signal represents the distance between an object and a reference point

Pushbutton switches are mechanical switches defined by the method used to activate the switch.

Inductive linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that determine an object's coordinates (linear or angular) with respect to a reference

Rotary position sensors include potentiometers, resolvers and a variety of magnetic and capacitive technologies.
