Linear Positioning Sensors

 

Linear Displacement Transducers

Linear Position Sensors are essential components in modern factory automation, providing precise and reliable absolute position feedback for advanced industrial machinery. These sensors—also known as Linear Position Transducers or Linear Displacement Transducers—are engineered to optimise performance, ensure accuracy, and simplify integration with host controllers.

In today’s demanding manufacturing environments, equipment must be both robust and adaptable. Our linear position sensors are designed to exceed these expectations.

They offer:

  • Accurate and absolute position feedback

  • Quick and easy setup

  • Seamless integration with control systems

Backed by decades of engineering experience, proprietary technology and a commitment to innovation, our sensors deliver exceptional value across a wide range of applications and harsh environments. Whether you're upgrading legacy systems or building cutting-edge machinery, our linear displacement sensors are built to meet the toughest industrial challenges.

 

Rod Style LDTs 953VMax

Commonly used with hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, these transducers report precise position data directly to the host controller, enabling efficient and responsive system control.

Designed for direct insertion into the cylinder body, rod-style linear transducers are built to withstand the high-pressure environments typical of hydraulic applications. Their robust construction ensures long-term durability and reliable performance, even in the most demanding operating conditions.

Key benefits include:

  • High-pressure tolerance for hydraulic systems

  • Accurate, real-time position feedback

  • Seamless integration with host controllers

  • Reliable performance in harsh industrial environments

Engineered for precision and longevity, our rod-style linear transducers support advanced motion control and automation, improving operational efficiency across a wide range of industries.

955 BRIK Series Linear Position Sensors

The 955 Series is easy to install and set up, and features the latest generation of Magnetostrictive position-sensing technology and offers absolute position feedback. A magnet assembly moves over the sensing element that determines the position and converts it to a readable output. The BRIK is a self-contained unit and does not have a can or head assembly. All of the electronics are incorporated in the sensor; which is less than one inch tall. It is available in analogue, digital and quadrature outputs.

This linear position sensor can be a cost effective replacement to limit and proximity sensors and linear potentiometers. Applications include Presses, Injection Molding, Web Tensioning, Tire & Rubber, Roll positioning and many more.

Featuring

  • 6 different models

  • Analog (Voltage & Current)

  • Digital Outputs (Start/Stop, PWM & Control Pulse)

  • Quadrature

  • Sensor Length up to 180"
