Balluff’s Linear Position Transducer Fits Into Small Spaces and Small Budgets

August 19, 2010 By Randy Frank

Designed to fit into small spaces, Balluff’s Micropulse PF-series linear transducer has a profile of less than 1-inch high.  The low profile design targets plastic injection and blow molding; woodworking and metalforming; material handling and more. Using magnetostrictive sensing technology, the unit has a measurable range of 51 to 4572 mm (2 to 180 in) […]

TURCK Linear position Sensors Replace Magnetostrictive and Potentiometer Devices

March 5, 2010 By sensortipsadmin

Minneapolis, MN — TURCK’s new LI-Q25 series linear position sensors replace magnetostrictive and potentiometer devices to deliver precise, repeatable measurements in metal processing machines, rolling mills or injection molding machines. Unlike magnetostrictive or magnetic inductive position sensors, LI-Q25 sensors do not require a magnetic positioning device; thus, they are unaffected by metal debris. The sensors […]
