Position Sensors

Position sensors are electronic components that convert the mechanical displacement of an object into an electrical signal through non-contact or contact measurement. Based on their operating principle, they can be categorized into five main types: Hall effect, magnetoresistive, photoelectric, inductive, and capacitive. Typical accuracy reaches ±0.1mm, and response time is less than 1ms.

1. What are the Core Features of Position Sensors?

High Resolution: Utilizes a 16-bit ADC chip for micron-level detection.

Environmental Adaptability: IP67 protection rating, operating temperature -40°C to 125°C.

Output Protocol: Supports analog (0-10V), digital (SSI/SPI), and bus communication (CANopen).

2. What are the Typical Application Scenarios of Position Sensors?

Industrial Automation: Servo Motor Rotor Position Feedback.

Automotive: Accelerator Pedal Position Monitoring (Compliant with ISO 26262 Functional Safety)
