A position sensor is a sensor that facilitates measurement of mechanical position.
Automotive linear position sensor.
The lin series sensors are non contact linear position sensors with one or two independent outputs.
From small angles up to full 360 absolute angle sensing.
The inductive position sensors interface with low cost pcb based coils and simple metallic targets providing single chip design flexibility for rotary on axis end of shaft and off axis side shaft or through shaft sensors as well as linear and arc position sensors.
Hall linear position sensor 3.
Robust design in the engine vicinity.
The linear magnetic position sensor product family measures the linear movement of a multi pole magnetic strip.
Circular multi pole magnetic rings can also be used in rotary incremental rotation off axis applications.
This high precision product family allows the user to detect linear movement with a resolution as fine as 0 5μm.
Based on a modular system the sensor is available as an ang version for angular position measurements or as a lin version for linear position measurements.
The sensors operate through the use of hall effect technology with magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets.
The new generation linear and angular position sensors from zf pursue new ways in terms of efficiency.
