Fractional pulse rate rotary encoders are often used in conveyor and web applications to simplify control system setup. Often used to simply determine a linear displacement in baggage handling and other material handling lines, flexibility and reliability are more important than high resolution.

A transmission manufacturer recently faced a challenging situation involving the Positek P100 in-cylinder linear sensors. This case study explores the problem encountered, the innovative and swift solution provided by Positek and Everight, and the ultimate satisfaction of the customer.

When a worldwide leader in gas valves needed a partner to develop a new linear sensor for an upcoming product rollout, they turned to Everight Position and Positek. This collaboration was aimed at creating a sensor that not only met stringent regulatory requirements for hazardous locations but also offered versatility in terms of stroke lengths, catering to the broad product lineup.
