LVR, a Temperature Independent Alternative to LVDT’s in Harsh Environments

Posted under Blog, Linear Sensors

The LVR sensor (Linear Variable Resonance), is a new patented non-contact linear position sensor that is a potential replacement for the LVDT sensors in harsh environments.

Potentiometers That Make Sense for Sensing

Posted under Blog, Linear Sensors

Despite their perceived simplicity, potentiometers can still be an appropriate option in today’s ever-complicated automation industry. Fundamentally a variable resistor, modern potentiometers also offer more traditional outputs such as voltage and current which are common to more expensive sensors.
