Overview

Industrial position sensors are used to measure linear displacement, rotary position and angular movement in automation and real-time control applications. Common output forms include analog, encoder and digital signals.

Typical Applications

  • Linear Displacement Measurement
  • Rotary Position Feedback
  • Cylinder Position Sensing
  • Machine Positioning
  • Industrial Automation Equipment

Typical Brands

Cost-effective alternatives may be available for selected models and signal interface requirements associated with brands such as Balluff, Turck, Pepperl+Fuchs and SICK.

Typical Signal Interfaces

Industrial position sensors are commonly available with analog, encoder and digital outputs. Similar signal interfaces are widely used in DAQ and real-time control environments, including Quanser, NI, dSPACE and Speedgoat platforms.

Practical Experience

We have practical experience with signal verification and data acquisition for this sensor category in our own lab environment.
