Automotive Linear Position Sensor

The lin series sensors are non contact linear position sensors with one or two independent outputs.

Automotive linear position sensor.

Based on a modular system the sensor is available as an ang version for angular position measurements or as a lin version for linear position measurements. The linear magnetic position sensor product family measures the linear movement of a multi pole magnetic strip. High temperature functionality 150 c. This high precision product family allows the user to detect linear movement with a resolution as fine as 0 5μm.

Circular multi pole magnetic rings can also be used in rotary incremental rotation off axis applications. A position sensor may indicate absolute position location or relative position displacement in terms of linear travel rotational angle or three dimensional space. The sensors operate through the use of hall effect technology with magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets. Hall linear position sensor 3.

The inductive position sensors interface with low cost pcb based coils and simple metallic targets providing single chip design flexibility for rotary on axis end of shaft and off axis side shaft or through shaft sensors as well as linear and arc position sensors. A position sensor is a sensor that facilitates measurement of mechanical position. The new generation linear and angular position sensors from zf pursue new ways in terms of efficiency.
