Position feedback sensors for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders have most commonly used one of three technologies: magneto-strictive (MLDTs), variable resistance (pots), and variable inductance (LVITs) ...

As the demand for greater control and functionality increases, position-sensor-instrumented hydraulic cylinders are becoming more important in the heavy industry, mobile equipment, and subsea worlds.

Many of the sensors capturing information from the world around us are resistive. A few examples are NTC, PTC, LDR, & contact sensors. If we convert the resistance of the sensors into frequency or ...

Reporting extraordinary reliability and resistance to high temperatures, the HSTAR 750 Series hermetically-sealed, ac-operated position sensors offer stainless-steel construction, measure 19-mm in ...

They determine the home and end stroke of the piston head within the cylinder. The difficulty lies in detecting the position of the piston within its cylindrical housing. Magnets placed within the ...

Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC (HGSI) has expanded its sensor product offering by adding resistive technology to its portfolio of linear position sensors. The LPPS-22 series of linear ...

When you look at switching solutions for electronic wearables, your options are limited. With a clever application of conductive fabric and thread, you can cobble together a simple switch, but the ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...
