Positek’s PIPS® technology, a major advance in displacement sensor technology, is available in three derivative displacement measurement formats: LIPS®, RIPS® and TIPS® (Linear, Rotary and Tilt). They cost-effectively provide the simplicity of potentiometer-based sensors in a...

Compounded by such restraints they contacted Positek Limited who pulled out the stops and within a one-week timescale delivered around forty custom-built sensors featuring a unique differential coil design with electronic temperature compensation and full IP68...

For displacement monitoring on road and rail bridges and similarly large structures, a typical complement of several individually mounted Positek sensors, such as heavy-duty S115 series push-rod variant, can be used to monitor the real-time displacement between critical structural elements. These...

The sensor chosen for this measurement and control system was the Positek P502 small angle rotary sensor. The sensor measures a maximum angle of ±2.5° rotation and produces a 0.5V to 9.5V output over the range from a 24V supply. Potentiometers were originally rejected for the...

The Hamilton waterjets provide manoeuvring by using a reverse duct that can deflect the jet stream anywhere between maximum forward and full reverse thrust. In addition a steering deflector controls the lateral direction of the jet stream. By combining reverse duct and steering positions, full 360...

In this application it was necessary to design the sensor with a small space envelope in the cylinder and to use an external electronic interface. The Positek P106 inductive position sensor was chosen for this application because of its small size and the compact electronic interface. Usually the...
