Angle and Linear Position Sensors

Angle Position Sensors

• Potentiometers – analog output, cost-effective
• Encoders (Incremental & Absolute) – high resolution
• Resolver – robust, used in harsh environments
• Hall Effect Sensors – contactless, good for rotary
• AMR/TMR Sensors – high sensitivity, compact

Linear Position Sensors

• LVDT – high accuracy, robust
• Potentiometric – simple, low-cost
• Magnetostrictive – non-contact, long range
• Optical Encoders – high precision
• Capacitive Sensors – short range, high resolution

Selection Criteria: Range, accuracy, environment, output type (analog/digital), power, size.
