Our position sensing technology is used extensively in the industrial sector. We supply standard, customized and fully bespoke sensors for a variety of applications.
Position Sensors for Industrial Applications
Position sensors are used for determining the angular or linear position of an object. These sensors are used for a variety of industrial applications. After temperature, the position is the second most common physical quantity measured in industry.
Applications for Zettlex sensors include:
- Encoders for brushless DC motor commutation & position control
- Test & measurement equipment – especially IncOders for high accuracy angle measurement
- Robotic manipulators & CNC machine tools
- Fluid flow meters & monitors – including multi-phase flow measurement at high temperatures of >200Celsius
- Valve & actuator position control and measurement including multi-turn encoders for electric actuators and remote meter reading
- Stock and web feed control for printing equipment and ATMs
- Sensors for remote electrical display of readings from pressure & temperature dial indicators
- Shaft angle measurement on large-scale refrigerators and compressors.
