They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

Providing accurate, reliable, continuous position feedback is only the start. Linear position sensors must also deliver value by being easy to install and easy to use, without taking up valuable space ...

You just finished the design of what is basically a fancy linear stage. Does your motor controller know exactly where the carriage is? Like, really where the carriage ...

A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

NIDEC MACHINE TOOL CORP. has developed an electromagnetic-induction linear position detector that digitally detects machines' positioning, feed, and other information. With resolution and accuracy ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

Novotechnik U.S. introduces the TE1 Series of absolute linear position sensors, with integrated microprocessor and associated circuitry to provide signal conditioning for a current or voltage output ...

The Alliance Sensors Group is now offering a miniature, lightweight LZ SERIES linear position sensor product line utilising LVIT Technology. LVIT inductive linear position sensor Credit: Alliance ...

Farrand's transducers can offer precise measurements of angular or linear position displacements. The rotary transducers are accurate down to ± 0.5 arc-sec or better, with resolution to 26 bits. The ...

Subsea environments are one of the most difficult areas for any sensor to perform, especially when performance life of as much as 20 years is expected in an underwater application. In subsea ...
