Non-contact rotary position sensors are rapidly becoming the preferred solution for modern industrial, robotics, and defense systems. This article explores how Hall Effect and Inductive sensing technologies work, why traditional potentiometers are reaching their limits, and which real-world integration challenges – including vibration, EMC, sealing, and mechanical loading – can determine long-term system reliability even when the datasheet looks perfect.

Linear position sensors are widely used across industrial, automotive, and control systems – but selecting the right one is more complex than choosing a stroke length. In this article, we explore how mechanical design, environmental conditions, and system-level integration affect sensor performance, and why many real-world failures are caused by installation and application mistakes rather than the sensor itself.

Amironic is the official VARIOHM representative in Israel, providing industrial position sensors and system-level measurement solutions. We specialize in linear and rotary position sensing technologies, including contactless inductive systems engineered for reliability in demanding industrial environments.

Spring-loaded linear position sensors remain a proven solution for space-limited and rugged mechanical systems.
The KTP Series from VARIOHM combines compact design, stable resistive output, and long mechanical life, making it well suited for demanding long-term position feedback applications.

The Euro‑MXPK is a compact, programmable rotary position sensor designed for harsh environments. With a puck-and-magnet design, IP68 rating, and redundant outputs, it’s the ideal solution for precision feedback in space-constrained industrial, automotive, and defense applications.

With our Euro-XPK puck sensor, you can specify a custom angle range from 30° to 360° giving you:
More meaningful output
Improved accuracy
Less wasted motion
