LINEAR AND ROTARY POSITION

Linear and Rotary Position

Position sensors respond to the movement or location of a target, such as a

molding press slide or a pulley shaft, by producing either a digital or an

analogue output correlated to its location. Honeywell position sensors include

digital and analogue Hall-effect position sensors, magnetoresistive digital

sensors and potentiometric rotary and linear sensors. Sensors are directly

compatible with other electronic circuits for application flexibility.

With the combined capabilities of three well-known brand names - Data

Instruments, Clarostat, Electro and New England Instruments - Honeywell the

group continuously strives to remain at the forefront of position sensing

technology. In this catalogue we present our range of Linear and Rotary

Position transducers and Torque Watch gauges, all suitable for use in

industrial environments.
