Advanced Solutions for Measurement & Control

Position Sensors

Non-Contact Inductive Position sensors for linear, angular and rotary position measurement. Perfect for use in harsh environments.

Introduction

Gill Position Sensors use induction technology to detect the position of a metallic object (often referred to as the ‘activator’) which is mounted to the moving part of the application. There is no contact between the sensor and the moving part.

All of our standard position sensor designs are fully sealed and submersible, and have been designed specifically for use in extreme operating environments: high/low temperatures and thermal shock; vibration; shock; dust; grime; salt spray; pressure washing.

With no moving parts within the position sensor and no contact with the moving part of the application, the reliability of Gill non-contact position sensors is unrivalled by contacting technologies.

Unlike non-contact hall-effect devices, induction position sensing technology is unaffected by the presence of a magnetic field and the output will not drift with temperature. This ensures that the high level of accuracy is maintained regardless of the operating conditions.

Features & Benefits
  • Non-Contact - Nothing to Wear Out
  • High accuracy for precision measurement and control
  • Induction Technology is unaffected by Magnetic Fields
  • Output will not drift with temperature

  • Fully Sealed Designs allow Full Submersion
Custom Position Sensors

For customers who require something a little different we can design and develop custom position sensors that exactly match the mechanical and electrical requirements of the application.

Whether for a small batch of prototypes or volume manufacture for an OEM application, we have a proven track record of developing bespoke position sensors to specification, on time and to budget.
