Linear Position Sensors with Spring Loaded Slide

Spring-loaded linear position sensors feature a push-in style slide actuator with ball tip to measure distance when pressed, ideal for applications where the sensing element cannot be attached to the object whose position is being measured. Potentiometer and inductive technologies are available.

Spring Loaded Slide Linear Position Sensors

Spring-loaded linear position sensors measure linear displacement without being physically connected to the target. The spring-loaded actuator keeps the ball tip in contact with the object to provide reliable distance feedback.

Alliance inductive linear position transducers use contactless operation to convert linear displacement to an analog output of 0 to 10 VDC or 4 to 20 mA
Low-cost Gefran linear potentiometers convert linear displacement of an object to a resistance value
