Precision in Every Measurement

LVIT - Inductive Linear Sensors

Inductive sensors operate using electromagnetic fields to detect position changes, providing robust performance in harsh environments. Ideal for automotive, manufacturing, and heavy-duty applications, these sensors offer high immunity to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.

Draw Wire Encoders

 Draw wire sensors, also called ‘cable pull’ sensors or ‘string-pots’ use a rotary encoder connected to a draw wire to provide high accuracy sensing. The encoder delivers a signal proportional to the cable that is pulled out. These are easy-to-install with a large variety of interface options

Potentiometer

A potentiometer is a type of variable resistor. By adjusting the wiper’s position, the resistance between the wiper and the end terminals changes, most commonly read as a voltage divider. This simplicity makes potentiometers low cost but susceptible to wear.

Magnetic Linear Scale

Leveraging the interaction of magnetic fields and strain pulses, these sensors deliver high-resolution position measurements and are well-suited for industrial automation, hydraulic systems, and injection molding machines. Their non-contact nature ensures durability and long-term reliability.

Custom Sensors Tailored to Your Exact Specifications

When one of our 100 million off-the-shelf sensors doesn’t meet your unique technical requirements, our team steps in to deliver custom solutions that fit perfectly into your application.  Our active relationship with the manufacturers allows us to easily customize encoders and sensors in ways the big guys simply can’t do.  We often find that our customers are over-spec’d and spending more than necessary to get the job done.  While a dump truck will get a few bags of mulch home from Home Depot, so will a Toyota Tacoma. Plus, the Tacoma will be easier to navigate in the parking lot.

With over 75 years of combined experience with sensors, specifically encoders, our team has the deep product knowledge and manufacturing partnerships needed to adapt existing products to your exact needs.

Why Choose Us?

  • OEM – Reduce ‘systems costs’ – Easier, quicker installation reduces labor costs, removes unnecessary mounting adapters and fixtures such as couplings, and complex wiring. Customer specific labeling and part numbers available with 2D barcodes for easier inventory management.
  • Obsolescence – Replace an existing sensor with one that is a 1:1 drop-in replacement, reducing unnecessary risks for changing an existing system. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”
  • Challenging Environments – Perhaps a submersible sensor is needed or one that fits in a specific physical envelope. Having worked on custom applications for over fifteen years we’ve seen a lot and have the know-how to help you find an appropriate solution.
  • MOQ 1: Sometimes a custom solution is needed for a small scale project. We provide the same world-class support regardless of customer or project size.

Our Customization Process:

  • Discovery: We start by understanding your unique problem or technical specification. What challenge does your project face, and how can we solve it with a customized sensor or encoder?
  • Problem-Solving: Our team collaborates closely with you to develop a solution that meets your needs, whether it’s a simple off the shelf encoder, or something we are able to customize specific to your exact specifications.
  • Budget Considerations: We work with you to explore various options that align with your financial plan without compromising on quality or performance.  We don’t over-spec’d and try to provide exactly what is needed, both in product and in quantity. 

Availability & Timeline: Timing is crucial in your industry. We ensure quick availability of your custom encoder or help find similar products that can meet your timeline needs.

Did You Know?

60% of our projects involve customizing existing encoders to meet specific client requirements. This extensive experience allows us to offer solutions that are not only technically sound but also cost-effective and timely.
