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 ...

Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

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.

CARY, N.C. (June 11, 2009) – MTS Systems Corp., Sensors Division has improved the design of its Temposonics linear-position sensors to increase the sensors’ longevity in high-vibration applications ...

New Solution of TMR Sensor and 0.4mm-Pitch Magnetic Scale Offers Accurate Linear Displacement Measurement with Excellent Temperature Stability and High Immunity to Stray Field Interference, Achieving ...

This blog follows an NCC press release that CW published in January 2022, after which I interviewed the team involved. I also included their work in my upcoming March 2022 feature article on Sensors.

To implement a motion control system, it is necessary to sense the movement of a device that is rotating or travelling along a straight line. This requirement is common in a growing number of ...
