About Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring

Position sensors are devices used to detect and measure the displacement, angular rotation, or linear movement of objects or components in mechanical systems. They provide feedback on the position, velocity, and direction of motion, enabling precise control and monitoring of machine movements, robotic systems, and industrial processes. Position sensors come in various types including angle sensors and linear position sensors, each tailored to specific measurement requirements and environmental conditions. Angle sensors measure angular displacement or rotation, while linear position sensors measure linear displacement along a specified axis. These sensors utilize different sensing principles such as resistive, inductive, capacitive, magnetic, or optical sensing techniques to detect and quantify position changes accurately. Position sensors find applications in automotive systems, aerospace, robotics, industrial automation, and consumer electronics where precise position feedback is critical for system operation, control, and safety.
