Displacement Sensors

posiwire® Cable Extension Position Sensors: posiwire® Cable Extension Position Sensors are made of a specially-manufactured and calibrated measuring cable and a highly accurate graduated drum. They are very easy to install and are ready for use in a very short time.

positape® Tape Extension Sensors: positape® Tape Extension Position Sensors are made of a specially-manufactured and calibrated measuring tape and a highly accurate graduated drum. They are particularly well suited for applications with deflection pulleys.

posichron® Magnetostrictive Sensors: posichron® Magnetostrictive Position Sensors determine the position of a permanent magnet using the magnetostrictive time of flight principle. It does this using a completely contact-free technique. Different structural forms offer a wide range of applications.

posichron® EasyMount Magnetostrictive Sensors: posichron® EasyMount Magnetostrictive Position Sensors for external mounting on hydraulic cylinders. Easily accessible for maintenance and repair work

posimag® lin Magnetic Scale Sensors: The posimag® length measuring system comprises an MR scanning head and a magnetic dimensional scale. The position is determined without contact and thus without wear or tear. This measuring setup supports resolutions in the µm range.

Angle Sensors

posirot® Magnetic Angle Sensors: The posirot® magnetic angle sensors of the PRAS/PRDS series are based on a contact-free and absolute measurement principle. The position sensing element is a permanent magnet.

posimag® rot Magnetic Incremental Encoders: The incremental encoders of the posirot® PMIS series consist of an MR sensor head and a magnetic ring as a magnetic scale. The encoders of the PRDS series use a permanent magnet as a sensing element.

posihall® Magnetic Multiturn Encoders: The absolute posihall® magnetic multiturn encoders measure angular positions over multiple revolutions using a noncontact magnetic measuring principle, which allows wear free operation.

posirot® Potentiometer AWS: The AWS angle sensors are using a high precision potentiometer as sensing device. Thanks to the specially designed output electronics, a high lifetime can be achieved.

Inclination Sensors

positilt® inclination sensors: offer contactless, wear-free, and absolute measurement of tilt angles ranging up to ±180°. The use of MEMS technology makes these sensors particularly resistant to shock, vibrations, and contamination. As a result, positilt® inclination sensors are ideal for use in outdoor applications. Various designs are available to reflect the wide range of potential applications.
