Positek- Tilt, Rotary and Linear Position

They need no contact between the moving components and therefore have a very long life. Positek has developed a new technology that overcame the disadvantages normally associated with inductive technology (bulkiness, poor length to stroke ratio and the need for special magnetic materials).

Positek specialising in rugged Linear, rotary, tilt position transducers and also harsh environment certification. The sensors provide a linear output characteristic with displacement which can be proportional to the supply voltage and the rotary sensors provide an output signal that is proportional to rotation.. Its DC analogue output signal represents absolute position and is available immediately on power up. The sensors have a very fast start up from power on and provide an almost instantaneous signal.

The sensors have major advantages over LVDT's and other similar sensors. They are more compact, more accurate, robust and need no special sensitive magnetic components or magnets which attract debris. The rotary and tilt sensors provide an accuracy and life that is not readily available from competing rotary and tilt sensing technologies such as potentiometers and Hall Effect devices.
