Turck’s linear position sensors are available in a variety of sensing technologies that provide a designer with a variety of options when deciding which solution best fits the application.

Inductive linear position sensors are non-contact sensors using the R-L-C principle of operation, with measuring ranges up to 1,000 mm.

Magnetic linear position sensors are non-contact sensors using external magnets with imbedded hall effect sensors measuring ranges up to 200 mm.

Magnetostrictive linear position sensors are non-contact sensors using external magnets measuring ranges up to 300 in.

Draw wire (or cable pull) are mechanically operated devices with measuring ranges up to 40 m.
