Light Industrial Position Sensors

But what are the position sensors doing when they are installed in a light industrial application? How do you decide which sensor is the right one for your machine?

A possible installation of a position sensor is the rear wing of a sportscar. The sensors are so fine that they are integrated into the small hydraulic cylinders that steer the rear wing when driving and switching between driving modes like leisure or sport mode. Here, they help to control the stroke length and thus the setting of the rear wing while driving.

Looking at the medical sector, magnetostrictive position sensors can help with mobility tools for elder people or rehabilitation machinery to support patients to move again for example. The sensors with their high accuracy measurement support for example the control of fine hydraulic cylinders for head rests of beds.

As for the second point, how one decides which position sensor is the right one for light industrial application, you need to know your machine, the demands the sensor should fulfill, possible approvals or standards that your sector is working with. With this information it is easy to choose "your" sensor among our dedicated selection of position sensors for light industrial applications.
