Position Sensor Applications Position Sensors are one of the most diverse sensors used across a huge range of industries Position Sensors can be used to measure either linear or rotary position using a whole range of sensing technologies. Position Sensors are used for many different applications, anything which requires measurement of movement will use a type of position sensor. We have supplied position sensors for applications in industries including; Motorsport, Automotive, Industrial Sector, Medical Applications, Automotive, Mobile Vehicle, Hydraulics, Aerospace and so many more. Here are some of our applications; Motorsport and Automotive Position Sensor Application Steering angle and gear position Clutch/throttle actuation and pedal position Suspension - on cars with our ELPM, and motorbikes with ELPM-POP Industrial Position Sensor Applications Machine builder – position feedback (textile machines and welding machines) Structural testing Nuclear plants Automotive testing Medical Position Sensor Applications Oncology machines MRI machines Other Position Sensor Applications Ticket Barriers on the London Underground - position sensors determine when the gates open and close Special Effects on Films - things aren’t always what they seem and very often position sensors make this happen Segways - our Partner Novotechnik supplied sensors which are used on Segways Ramp Positioning - Our sensors were used on the Dover ferry port to ensure the ramp was at the correct position for loading and offloading. Bridge movement - the London Peninsula bridge has a movement requirement to allow boats to pass underneath - our sensors ensure that the bridge is held at the correct position. Elevator lifts - there are different types of position sensors on an elevator lift, they typically use encoders for position feedback. Position Sensors from Variohm Overall there is a huge range of different applications which use position sensors which is why there are so many different types of position sensors.
