This page explains how Position Sensors is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
Devices that detect and report the precise location of moving components within an X-Y gantry system.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Position Sensors
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Range | 0–1000 mm | Typical for X-Y gantry systems; longer ranges available on request. |
| Resolution | 0.001–0.01 mm | Higher resolution for precision positioning. |
| Accuracy | ±0.01–±0.05 mm | Includes linearity and hysteresis. |
| Repeatability | ±0.005–±0.02 mm | Critical for consistent positioning. |
| Output Signal | 4–20 mA / 0–10 V DC / SSI / CANopen | Analog or digital; interface compatibility required. |
| Supply Voltage | 24 V DC ±10% V | Reverse polarity and overvoltage protection. |
| Operating Temperature | -20–+85 °C | Extended range -40 to +105 °C optional. |
| Protection Class | IP54–IP67 | IP67 for washdown or dusty environments.IEC 60529 |
| Sensor Type | Magnetostrictive / Inductive / Optical | Magnetostrictive for absolute, wear-free measurement. |
| Housing Material | Aluminum / Stainless steel | Stainless steel for corrosive environments. |
| Weight | 0.5–2.5 kg | Depends on length and housing material. |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.

Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.
Quoted from the published standard.
2 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The typical measurement range is 0 to 1000 mm, but longer ranges are available on request. Always confirm the exact range for your specific model with the manufacturer.
Output signals can be analog (4-20 mA or 0-10 V DC) or digital (SSI or CANopen). Ensure compatibility with your control system.
The standard operating temperature range is -20 to +85 °C, with an optional extended range of -40 to +105 °C. Verify the limits for your application.
Protection classes range from IP54 to IP67 per IEC 60529, suitable for dusty or washdown environments. Confirm the required IP rating for your installation.
