Linear Sensors

Linear position sensors for mounting in parallel with a linear motion. Linear sensor 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. he sensor housing is fixed and the 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 the solution with cables.

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