Linear Potentiometers require external instrumentation electronics. The LEX has integrated electronics as part of its design. Relative optical sensors typically need to be combined with other sensors for frequent re-calibration of position. Sensors are increasingly used in ever more complex vehicles and devices. One of the major challenges is the overhead and cost associated with wiring.
Users can select or define the output of the sensor.
A number of parameters can be measured, calculated and reported simultaneously. The LEX sensor measures absolute position, but with the addition of a biasing element such as a spring or an inertial mass, a range of physical measurements are possible from a single device. Additional functionality beyond that of traditional sensors gives increased utility value. For further information please use our contact form or email our sales department.
