Rugged Magnetostrictive
Position Sensor with
Cloud Link
Reliable string potentiometers with wireless telemetry
ideal for long-reach measurement in robotics, cranes, and mobile systems.
Overview
This page presents an advanced magnetostrictive position sensor solution tailored for robotic testing platforms and industrial systems. These sensors offer absolute linear position feedback, combining magnetic time-of-flight measurement with secure cloud connectivity. That means manufacturers, automation integrators, and test engineers can access live displacement data reliably—even in harsh or remote environments. Tilt Deflection Angle, a North American B2B company headquartered in Vancouver, BC, stands behind these systems with expert consultation, continuous R&D, and strict quality assurance processes to ensure dependable, scalable deployments.
