Linear Position Sensors

Li linear position sensors provide precise position readings without the use of magnets, making them particularly resistant to external magnetic fields, metal chips, and harsh machine environments. The non-contact inductive resonator technology reduces wear and maintenance requirements, while measuring ranges of up to 2,000 mm, high resolution, and IO-Link variants enable flexible, future-proof integration.
 

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited?

• Position feedback in machine axes and adjustment units
• Sliders or guides
• Format adjustment and process monitoring in packaging and assembly lines

DW cable-pull encoders are the ideal solution when large linear travel ranges need to be measured reliably, compactly, and cost-effectively. Travel ranges of up to 30,000 mm can be converted directly into a clear position signal without complex mechanical components or long sensor rods. This simplifies integration into lifting systems, mobile machinery, and material handling systems and ensures transparent motion sequences.

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited?

• Position measurement on lifting tables, booms, and scissor lifts
• Path monitoring in conveyor technology and material handling
• Length and position feedback in mobile machinery

LTX/LTE linear position sensors provide precise position measurement directly within the hydraulic cylinder. The pressure-resistant, magnetostrictive technology operates wear-free and delivers reliable position readings even under high pressures, shock, and vibration. With high resolution, a rugged IP68 design, and flexible interfaces, they enhance process reliability in industrial and mobile equipment applications.

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited?

• Position measurement in hydraulic cylinders
• Axis feedback in mobile machinery and presses
• Level or position monitoring for external mounting with a compatible position sensor

WIM linear position sensors offer a compact and cost-effective solution for short- to medium-range position measurement. The magnetic sensing principle provides reliable analog signals up to 200 mm and enables flexible switching points directly within the control system. Short dead zones, high repeatability, and an IP67-rated design make these sensors ideal for pneumatic systems, slides, presses, and level monitoring.

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited?

• Position detection using pneumatic cylinders
• Displacement measurement on slides, presses, and punch presses
• Float detection in flow meters or level monitoring
