  2. Linear variable differential transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_variable...

    The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) – also called linear variable displacement transformer, [1] linear variable displacement transducer, [2] or simply differential transformer[3] – is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement (position along a given direction). A counterpart to this device that ...

  3. Capacitive displacement sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_displacement_sensor

    Capacitive displacement sensors are "non-contact devices capable of high-resolution measurement of the position and/or change of position of any conductive target". [1] They are also able to measure the thickness or density of non-conductive materials. [2] Capacitive displacement sensors are used in a wide variety of applications including ...

  4. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller. The encoder can be either incremental or absolute.

  5. Rotary variable differential transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_variable...

    A rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring angular displacement. The transformer has a rotor which can be turned by an external force. The transformer acts as an electromechanical transducer that outputs an alternating current (AC) voltage proportional to the angular displacement of ...

  6. Position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensor

    A position sensor is a sensor that detects an object's position. A position sensor may indicate the absolute position of the object (its location) or its relative position (displacement) in terms of linear travel, rotational angle or three-dimensional space. Common types of position sensors include the following: Capacitive displacement sensor

  7. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    An incremental encoder is a linear or rotary electromechanical device that has two output signals, A and B, which issue pulses when the device is moved. [1] Together, the A and B signals indicate both the occurrence of and direction of movement. Many incremental encoders have an additional output signal, typically designated index[2] or Z, [3 ...
