Linear Position Sensors

Linear Sensors

Linear position sensors for mounting in parallel with a linear motion.

Linear sensors are usually mounted in one of the following ways:

  • Rod based sensor. The sensor housing is fixed, and the sensor rod is attached to the linear motion.
  • Sensor with shuttle. The sensor housing is fixed, and the linear motion is attached to a shuttle on the sensor housing. This solution can be totally sealed by a linear magnetostrictive sensor.
  • Sensor with ball joints. The sensor suspended in ball joints parallel to the linear motion.

Complete your solution with suitable cables.

If the measurement is made in parallel with a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, a cylinder sensor might be an excellent alternative.
