Position Sensors

Position sensors accurately detect and monitor the linear or rotary position of mechanical components in process control applications. Employing technologies such as potentiometric, inductive, magnetic, optical, and capacitive sensing, these sensors translate physical displacement into reliable electrical signals, ensuring real-time feedback and precise control of machinery movements.

Their value lies in their role in providing precise positional data necessary for the accurate operation of industrial systems. By continuously monitoring the position of actuators, valves, shafts, robotic arms, or moving parts, position sensors facilitate precise control, improve efficiency, enhance safety, and enable rapid troubleshooting, thus significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Position sensors find broad application across diverse industrial sectors, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and material handling. Within these environments, their deployment ensures reliable operation of control valves, conveyors, assembly lines, robotics, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), turbine blades, and production machinery requiring precise positioning feedback.

Applications include valve position indication, robotic arm positioning, motion control in CNC machining, level measurement, feedback for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder positioning, and accurate alignment control in conveyor systems. By offering real-time positional accuracy, position sensors greatly enhance process reliability, productivity, and safety.
