A Linear Position Sensor is a device used for detecting movement in a linear motion, the sensor then converts the movement into output signals suitable for processing, the format of the output signals will differ dependent on the interface requirements and the application.

Linear Position Sensors and Transducers are used throughout many industries including; test/lab applications, medical applications, Motorsport, industrial processing, industrial machinery and mobile vehicle applications. You may have come into contact with these types of sensors in everyday life. Some of the applications that they are used for include:

• Electric cart throttle control
• Steering systems on machinery
• Wheelchair steering systems
• Shock absorber on professional mountain bikes

In addition to our extensive supplier range of linear position sensors and transducers we also offer a range which has been designed and manufactured by our own team of engineers and staff, we have found that our range fill gaps in the market and have taken customer specifications and request into account during the design process. They are;

• Our VLP (Variohm Linear Potentiometer) is our original Variohm Linear Potentiometer and have been proven time and again in various applications and industries.
• Our IPL position sensors can cover ranges up to 1000mm stroke and is competitively priced.
• Our VLPSC offers signal conditioning
• The ELPM is our smaller linear position sensor and has been adapted for applications in small spaces and is well suited to motorsport applications
