Linear sensors are precision measurement devices used in automation and industrial applications to detect and monitor linear position, displacement, or movement. These sensors provide accurate, real-time feedback for machinery alignment, quality control, and process automation. Common types include linear potentiometers, LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers), magnetostrictive sensors, and optical linear encoders. Key features include high resolution, repeatability, and resistance to environmental factors like vibration or temperature fluctuations. Typical products in this category include draw-wire sensors for cable-driven measurement, inductive linear position sensors for harsh environments, and compact linear transducers for OEM integration. These components are essential for CNC machines, robotic systems, and automated production lines where precise positional feedback is critical.
