Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.
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) ...
The Melexis MLX90514 inductive sensor delivers high-precision position sensing, while reducing system complexity.
Bosch has developed a vehicle motion and position sensor that allows automated vehicles to precisely determine their position. First presented at the 2019 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS ...
Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...
