  • Contacting Linear Motion

    Bourns

    A spin-off of the Trimpot trimming potentiometer product line, the contacting linear motion position sensor was developed to meet the needs of designers wishing to detect movement of position. Applications for these compact components include: Solenoid positioning sensors for automated controllers, volume control on audio equipment, joystick controllers, satellite dish positioning, and robotics.

  • Non-Contacting Single-turn

    Bourns

    A rotary position sensor translates angular positions to an electrical signal. Rotary position sensors are designed for applications that typically require frequent adjustment. Shaftless designs allow for a different engagement mechanisms, such as a customized shaft, a motor control, a human interface adjustment or a mechanical arm position locator. Rotary position sensors can be used in applications where a user needs to control a variable output such as a frequency, speed or volume control. Typical applications include test and measurement equipment, consumer electronics, small engines, robotics, and medical equipment. The Bourns® Model AMS22S Series uses Hall Effect magnetic technology to sense rotary position.
