Linear sensors come in all different shapes and sizes and at Everight we are here to help navigate through the seemingly overwhelming number of options. Whether you are measuring fractions of an inch or hundreds of feet, Everight offers a unique variety of LVIT’s, potentiometers, draw wires and contact measuring wheels.
In its simplest form a rotary encoder provides information on the position or motion of a shaft. Multi Turn encoders can also provide information on the number of turns. While traditional contact based potentiometers are still appropriate for some basic applications, most modern control systems rely on optical, magnetic, capacitive or inductive technology for robust, reliable and high resolution sensing.
Inclinometers, also called tilt sensors, are designed to measure the angle of an object with respect to the force of gravity. These tilt or level meters determine pitch and/or roll angle and output these values via the appropriate electrical interface. Inclinometers are easy to integrate into an application because there is no need for mechanical linkages other than just the installation itself – a real advantage for design engineers.
Gill is a world leader in capacitive, solid-state liquid level sensing technology. With no moving parts to break or wear out, Gill liquid level sensors offer unmatched long term reliability in a variety of harsh environments.
The Gill WearDetect Oil Debris Sensor is proven in use by some of the world’s leading manufacturers, to provide the earliest warning of the initial stages of machine failure.
Everight can’t replace a Safety Engineer, but Everight can help navigate linear, rotary sensor and inclinometer sensors that have been formally rated to ATEX, IECEx and CSA requirements.
Everight Position provides a diverse range of sensors: Rotary, Linear, Liquid Level, Tilt, Oil Debris Sensors and Sensors for Hazardous Environments. Our position sensors are highly accurate and reliable in detecting various types of motion, allowing us to cater to a wide array of applications.
Non-contact, inductive Zettlex (Celera Motion) encoders for high-precision, reliable measurement in harsh environments.

Zettlex IncOders are non-contact devices for precise angle measurement. They use an inductive technique, similar to that used by electrical transformers. IncOders are well suited to harsh environments-where potentiometers, optical or capacitive devices might be unreliable. IncOders have two main parts each shaped like a flat ring: a Stator and a Rotor. The Stator is powered and measures the angular position of the passive Rotor. A big bore and low axial height allows easy integration with through-shafts, slip-rings, direct drivemotors, optical-fibres, pipes or cables.
Opkon ERTM offers the reliability of Opkons RTM sensor with a traditional voltage or 4-20mA current output
MLC magnetic linear incremenal encoders are designed for roll-bending machinery and other demanding applications.
The P133 is a durable, affordable, high accuracy short stroke linear inductive position sensor designed for use in industrial and scientific applications.
The P133 is very compact and offers an excellent stroke to overall length ratio. Each unit is supplied calibrated to the exact travel required by the customer, for example, if your application requires 3″” (76 mm) measurement then Positek will manufacture the sensor specifically for this length.The mechanical length and calibration will be set up for 76mm. The P133 is available with any travel from 0-51mm to 0-100mm.
The overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. The sensor has a rugged stainless steel body and plunger.
The P133 sensor is particuarly easy to install with either flanged housing or body clamps. The plunger can be supplied captive or free with either female M4 thread or spring loaded with dome end. The P133 is available with a wide range of electrical inputs/outputs, sealing up to IP65/IP67 dependant on connector/cable options and fully integrated EMC protection.

I thought rotary encoders used optical discs, but now I’m finding other options such as magnetic, capacitive and inductive. How do I determine which is right for my application?
Each sensor technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and within each technology there is a broad range of options. For example, some optical encoders cost $20 and others cost $10,000. The chart below is a very generalized overview of how the different technologies stack against one another and it should be noted that exceptions do exist.

Incremental Encoders
Incremental devices provide position change information only, so the actual position (0-360°) is unknown at startup. A once-per-rev index/marker signal defines the zero position or null of the device. It can be detected during a homing routine if needed.
Incremental sensors are typically small, accurate and cost-effective. They provide essentially instantaneous position information with minimal latency.
Absolute Encoders
Absolute devices provide the actual physical position within one revolution. Homing elimination is a major advantage as this process takes time and isn’t always possible depending on the physical limits of the application.
Absolute sensors are usually bigger and more expensive than incremental devices. Data processing of multiple tracks and serial transmission can increase the latency of position reading. Absolute sensors are available in a wide variety of interfaces including analog (voltage, current), SSI, BiSS, CANopen, J1939 and many Ethernet based protocols.
Absolute Multi-Turn
Rotary, multi-turn devices provide actual position over multiple revolutions. Homing can be eliminated. Multi-turn devices incorporate internal gearing, a battery backup or a self-generated pulse counter such as a Weigand Wire.
While Positek sensors are manufactured to never need to be calibrated, we do understand that sometimes it can be necessary to confirm the sensors functionality and linearity.

Note, you will need a sensor where the ‘trim pots’ are accessible to make this adjustment.
If it is a Gill liquid level sensor, yes you can. Some lower-end capacitive sensors rely on the tank housing to complete the circuit necessary to measure the liquid level, however Gill liquid level sensors are fully enclosed, and thus can be used in tanks made of any material. Gill sensors can even be mounted at an angle or upside down with no loss of performance.
