    Track the position of hydraulic cylinders and other components that move in a straight line. Like a tape measure, these sensors have a wire that extends to measure how far components have traveled from a set point. Because of the wire, they're also known as string pots—short for string potentiometers. They convert measurements to an electrical signal, which can then be used to trigger automated actions in your process.
    Plug In—Sensors with a plug are quicker to connect and disconnect than those with wire leads. Plug them into a cable with a socket (sold separately).
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—All are IP rated for some protection from dust. Sensors rated IP67 seal out water when briefly submersed.

    Continuously monitor your air cylinder rod’s position and turn the cylinder on and off with a single component. These transmitters send positioning data to computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). They're often integrated into automated systems for tasks such as timing when certain steps of your process should take place and verifying dimensions for quality control. Rated IP67, these transmitters withstand temporary submersion.
    Press the buttons on the switch to toggle between voltage and current outputs. These transmitters have a plug that connects to cords with a socket (not included) so you can quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

    Linear Motion Potentiometers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Linear Position Sensors. Linear Motion Potentiometers.
    Pair these potentiometers with a controller to monitor the position of moving parts or send instructions to an electrical system. They have a rod that slides back and forth against an internal resistor, which increases or decreases the voltage flowing out to your controller. To monitor the position of a moving part, such as a robotic component, connect it to the rod. As the part moves, it pushes the rod back and forth, which allows the controller to observe and report the part’s exact position. To use these potentiometers as part of a controls system, connect them to a volume slider or other manual control. When you move the slider, the controller converts its position into instructions for electrical equipment, such as adjusting volume levels. These potentiometers are also called variable output switches.

    With a single device, continuously monitor the distance of moving items and turn equipment on and off based on their position. These sensors use a light beam to detect subtle changes at high speeds, such as dents in cans on a canning line. They also have a time delay function, so you can keep circuits on or off for a set time after they sense an object. These sensors use IO-Link to send readings to a programmable logic controller (PLC), a human-machine interface (HMI), or a computer.
    All are IP rated for protection from dust and temporary submersion.
    Plug In—Sensors with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), so you can quickly connect and disconnect the sensor.
    OLED Display—Those with an OLED display show the measured distance in real time, so you can check readings at the sensor. They connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth, so you can use an app to configure them remotely. They’re often used in restricted or hard to reach areas, since you can set the trigger distance and save common settings without access to the sensor.
    IP69K Enclosure Rating—Those rated IP69K also withstand high-pressure washdowns.
