Analog Devices Inc. Position Sensing Interface Solutions

Analog Devices Inc. Position Sensing Interface Solutions are designed for closed-loop mechanical control systems across a wide range of industries including automotive, industrial automation, process control, and military and aerospace. These sensors can measure the position of various mechanical systems. Some of these measurements include the position of the robot arm, angular position of electric motor shaft, linear displacement of a hydraulic valve, and position of aircraft flight control surfaces.

These sensors can measure the position of various mechanical systems. Examples of the types of measurements position sensors take in mechanical systems include:

• Position of a robot arm
• Angular position of the electric motor shaft
• Linear displacement of a hydraulic valve
• Position of aircraft flight control surfaces.

The most common sensors used in high-precision applications include the following:

• Optical Encoders
• Resolvers and LVDTs
• Magnetic Sensors (such as AMR, TMR, Hall)

Analog Devices is a recognized manufacturer of xMR sensors and a leading supplier of sensor interface solutions for Optical Encoders, Resolvers, and LVDTs.
