About Linear Position Sensors and Switches, Magneto Resistive

Magneto resistive linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that read and detect presence and movement. These types of sensors and switches are capable of providing an absolute reading from the moment they are turned on. Magneto resistive linear position sensors and switches do not need to be zeroed to an external reference. Many types of magneto resistive linear position sensors and switches are available.


Products & Services Related to Linear Position Sensors and Switches, Magneto Resistive
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, Capacitive
Capacitive linear position sensors are devices that sense position / displacement using capacitance 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
Position Sensors, Optical Triangulation
Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves to pinpoint position and displacement.
