The new inductive linear position sensor operates on the basis of a completely new, revolutionary measuring principle. The positive features of standard measuring sytems have been combined and systematically developed further. The position is not detected via a positioning magnet but via an inductive oscillating circuit. The sensor is thus completely immune to magnetic fields which are generated by large motors for example. Devices with measuring ranges of 50mm up to 1000 mm are available and individually adjustable via pushbutton.
