CambridgeIC has added axial linear position sensing of rotating targets to the list of sensing capabilities available from its products. “The sensors are unique in measuring the continuous position of ...

austriamicrosystems (SIX: AMS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of high performance analog ICs, has introduced the AS5410 linear position sensor, the first product of the world’s first ...

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.

Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time information to feedback-hungry PLCs ...

To the extent that you’re familiar with magnetostriction, you probably know that it’s what makes big transformers hum, or that it’s what tips you off if you happen to walk out of a store without ...

A linear variable differential transformer (or LVDT) is an electromechanical transducer that reports position by converting the linear motion of an object (to which it is mechanically coupled) into an ...

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 ...

RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
