Non-contact linear position sensors are designed to meet the application needs of manufacturers of mechanical and hydraulic sub-systems for industrial, agricultural and transport vehicles.
They are the non-contact alternative to shaft-based linear sensors. They require radial mounting and are particularly suitable for detecting the position and movement of translating shafts.
The operation of these sensors is based on the detection of the intensity of a variable magnetic field depending on the position of the shaft. The magnetic field is generated by a permanent magnet that can be mounted on the translator (external magnet version) or inside the sensor itself (internal magnet version). This second version requires mechanical machining (inclined plane groove) on the part of the shaft that passes under the sensor.
