Position sensors measure an object’s location or displacement, providing critical feedback across a wide range of applications—from industrial automation and robotics to automotive systems.
Position sensors form the basis for a wide variety of measurement solutions, enabling the creation of encoders (for rotational or linear movement monitoring), torque sensors (for twist detection and torque control), level sensors (for fluid height), displacement and proximity sensors (for distance measurement), and even thickness sensors (for dimensional checks).
By converting mechanical motion into usable data, these sensors support precise control, improved safety, and increased efficiency across numerous applications.
Thanks to the know-how developed over two decades of academic research, we have devised new types of sensors that exploit electromagnetic fields. Unlike sensors already on the market, we differ in several ways.
Through agile design, enabled by our patented and totally in-house electromagnetic simulation software, we can make tailor-made products.
Under alignment conditions thanks to computer-made automatic optimization techniques we can guarantee a 0.1%FS linearity error. Should it be necessary to achieve higher accuracy two sensors can be used side by side, one absolute and one incremental. In this case we achieve accuracy down to 0.01° for rotary sensors.
Sensor placement is flexible (end-of-shaft i.e., the sensor is placed at the head of the shaft, through-shaft i.e., with the shaft passing through the sensor, side-shaft i.e., the sensor is placed lateral to the shaft, etc.).
Sensors that can be used in hostile environments, that is, with the presence of dust and liquids (water, oil, etc.), strong external electromagnetic fields (both static magnetic fields and electromagnetic fields), and can be used over a wide temperature range.
They do not use permanent magnets, saving on cost and avoiding supply problems.
All our sensors are non-contact to eliminate wear and tear due to mechanical contact.
