Displacement Sensors with Integrated Inclination Sensor

ASM, Elmhurst, IL, presents the posiwire® sensors WST61, WST85, and WST21, combining linear position determination and inclination measurement. Many applications for telescopic crane booms, transport cranes, machines for the pharmaceutical industry, and medical technology, require both linear position and inclination measurements. The posiwire sensors are equipped with magnetic, non-contact multi-Hall encoder technology. The inclination position is determined by an integrated sensor based on MEMS technology.
