Automotive Linear Position Sensor

This high precision product family allows the user to detect linear movement with a resolution as fine as 0 5μm.

Automotive linear position sensor.

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. Circular multi pole magnetic rings can also be used in rotary incremental rotation off axis applications. The lin series sensors are non contact linear position sensors with one or two independent outputs.

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. Linear position sensing of a regulating valve. Hall linear position sensor 3. Robust design in the engine vicinity.

From small angles up to full 360 absolute angle sensing. A position sensor is a sensor that facilitates measurement of mechanical position. A position sensor may indicate absolute position location or relative position displacement in terms of linear travel rotational angle or three dimensional space.
