We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Position Transducer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Position transducer measures a long range from
SpaceAge Control, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Series M general-capability position transducer promises long displacement range, multiple mounting options and size efficiency for OEM and high-volume applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Chinese mill orders automation system from
Industrial Automation Services: "SAPA Heat Transfer has contracted IAS to supply a new hydraulic gap control, automatic gauge control, roll eccentricity compensation and shape control system for its new 4-High Cold Mill".
In August 2003, we covered the news from Vishay Nobel
concerning its POS-microPOS
- take a look at Pope reel controller maintains web tension
which says: "The POS-microPOS is a novel control system for position control of pope reels".
Take a look also at the news release from Aerotech, Motion controller provides full automation,
as well as Award for linear position transducer from Control Products,
and Servo drives speed fish finger packaging from Control Techniques.
