Displacement sensors are used within any application where the measurement of movement is required, for example; Shifts in position Gaps and change in gaps Vibrations Expansion of objects Inclines Expansion due to temperature Displacement sensors convert the...

A tilt sensor - otherwise known as an inclinometer - is a type of sensor used to measure the slope or angle of an object with reference to gravity. They are one of the most common types of sensors available and are used throughout many industries.Take a look at all ofthe tilt sensors we have...

Positek offers an extensive range of inductive sensors. These are suitable for a wide range of applications as an ideal non-contact solution in many industries.Our inductive sensors are similar to LVDTs and RVDTs but with added benefits such as improved stroke to length ratio and higher...

The words ‘sensor' and ‘transducer' are often used interchangeably although they are different devices with different characteristics.What is the difference between a sensor and a transducer? Sensors and transducers are both devices which react to a change in a physical quality in...

Positek Limited has increased its comprehensive range of precision sensors with new pressure transducer and temperature probe product lines along with dedicated instrumentation displays. In addition, a broad range of cable extension transducers will supplement the Gloucester based...

A Linear Transducer is a type of position sensor which is used to measure movement in a linear fashion. They do this by converting the linear displacement into electrical signals proportional to the displacement making it usable by machines.   Different linear transducers will be able to...
