Absolute Position Sensor

A position sensor may indicate absolute position location or relative position displacement in terms of linear travel rotational angle or three dimensional space.

Absolute position sensor. This unique sensing principle applied to a position sensor results into an impressive robustness of the position signal over the mechanical airgap off axis tolerances. The rotation of this horizontal component is sensed over a wide range up to 360º and processed by the on chip dsp to ultimately report the absolute angular position of the. Triaxis absolute position sensor ic mlx90340. When you say incremental position sensor it implies a change in position.

This unique sensing principle applied to a position sensor ic results into an impressive robustness of the position signal over the mechanical airgap off axis tolerances. A position sensor is a sensor that facilitates measurement of mechanical position. Optical encoders provide the highest resolution and accuracy but they are vulnerable to contamination. The rotation of this horizontal component is sensed over a wide range up to 360º and processed by.

Position sensors are used in a wide range of automation and measurement applications. Absolute position sensors are very different from incremental sensors. It needs a reference point in order to start measuring. Encoders are available with both optical encoder and magnetic encoder sensing engines.
