Hazardous Location Sensors

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.

Each can be specified to a given application to ensure proper mechanical fit and easy integration into electrical control systems.

LVIT

Robust with submersible and hazardous environment options for up to 1 meter measurements

Drawwire

Ideal for long, repeatable measurements, up to 50′

Measuring Wheel

Ideal for continuous travel, such as manufacturing, packaging, etc

Potentiometer

An industry classic, low cost, repeatable measurement

What is a multiturn rotary encoder?

A multiturn rotary encoder is a sensor that measures the angle of rotation of a shaft, as well as the number of complete revolutions that the shaft has made. This is in contrast to a single-turn encoder, which only measures the angle of rotation, 0 – 360°. Multiturn encoders are used in a variety of applications where it is important to track the position of a moving object, such as in machine tools, robotics, and automation systems.

Inductosyn: End of an Era, New Opportunities or Both?

Recently, obtaining the Inductosyn and components for maintenance has become more difficult. For decades the Inductosyn from Farrand Controls / Ruhle Companies sat near the top of the rotary sensor hierarchy. Providing sub 2 arcsec (0.5 mdeg) accuracies, it combined the robustness of a resolver with the performance of the best optical encoders. Despite its shortcomings, it found plenty of customers, from airborne infrared and radar systems, to telescopes, satellite communication antennae (SATCOM), machine tooling and low-pressure vacuum chambers.
