Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring
Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring sensors are robust integrated circuits designed to sense the position or movement of an object and convert the measurement information into digital or analogue output signals. Position sensors are critical products in automation control gear that receive data to/from a fixed location and provide feedback. There are different types of sensors depending on your needs. A popular position sensor is the LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer).
What do they measure?
Position sensors use a different range of methods for measurement, including:
- Angle
- Rotary
- Distance
- Accuracy
Types of Position Sensors:
-
Linear position sensors:
Linearity is crucial for engineering applications. Linear position sensors are ideal for accurately measuring a device’s linear position and an object’s position within a linear and straight line.
-
Angle position sensors:
The angular position sensor in the Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring family measures the angle of the pedal without contact and is an integral part of the electric brake pedal required for the regenerative braking system of hybrid and electric vehicles.
-
Rotary position sensors:
Rotary or rotational position sensors detect an object’s movement to give its angular position.
-
Resistive position sensors:
These sensors use resistance to the position’s measurement and are a physical variable.
Applications of position sensors:
Position sensors in the family of Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring, have a variety of different applications, some of which include:
- Robotics
- Home appliances
- TV computers
- Gaming Lighting
- Industrial motion control
- Coordinate measurement
- Automotive
- Automation control gear.
