Position Sensor Types
 

With its broad Schaevitz® line, Measurement Specialties is the world’s largest manufacturer of industrial linear and rotary position transducers. The combination of materials and manufacturing techniques used for our Schaevitz® LVDT sensors, RVITs and tilt products results in extremely rugged transducers, capable of functioning during and after severe shock loads and vibration. Magnetic encoders offer breakthrough technology for accurate rotation sensing in harsh weather or difficult industrial conditions.

Linear Displacement

Schaevitz® by Measurement Specialties is the most trusted name for LVDTs (linear variable differential transformers), gageheads, LVDT instrumentation and OEM linear position transducers. Typical uses include industrial process control, valve position, roller gap control, instrumentation, aerospace and automotive.

Tilt/Clinometers

Measurement Specialties manufactures Schaevitz® AccuStar™ electronic clinometers and AngleStar™ electronic protractor systems which use capacitance-based sensors for the precise measurement of level, angle or tilt. Uses include construction equipment, tipover protection, antenna positioning, vehicle testing, car alarms, aerospace and robotics.

Rotary Displacement

The Schaevitz® line of rotary position transducers offers high reliability for absolute rotary position measurements in a range of specialized applications such as industrial controls, valve position, robotics and throttle controls.

Level (Hall Effect)

The extremely rugged Schaevitz® AccuStar™ fluid level sensor measures oil or transmission fluid levels in off-road vehicles.

Magnetic Encoders

Measurement Specialties used magnetic encoders for innovative custom packaged solutions for rotary applications. Superior to existing optical encoders for durability, contamination resistance and cost, magnetic encoders can be used for vending machines, equipment controls, flow meters, medical devices and many other applications.

Instrumentation

Schaevitz® instrumentation for AC-operated LVDTs and gageheads eliminates compatibility problems for signal conditioning with your Schaevitz® LVDTs. Applications include test stands and manufacturing systems.
