With a commitment to precision, durability, and seamless integration, our solutions are built to enhance performance, reduce downtime, and support digital transformation across various sectors.

Extensive Description of Position & Displacement Sensors

Tilt Deflection Angle provides a complete portfolio of position and displacement sensing solutions tailored for demanding industrial and research applications. Whether tracking micro-movements in robotics or measuring structural deflection in large-scale construction monitoring, our offerings deliver real-time data with pinpoint accuracy.

LVDTs

LVDTs are non-contact inductive sensors used to accurately measure linear displacement. They operate based on the electromagnetic principle and provide high-resolution, absolute position feedback, making them ideal for structural monitoring, material testing, and automated systems.

Linear Potentiometers

Linear potentiometers are resistive-based position sensors that convert linear displacement into a variable electrical signal. They are simple, cost-effective, and widely used in mechanical systems for measuring position, movement, or travel distance in real time.

Draw Wire Sensors

Draw wire sensors, or string potentiometers, use a retractable wire attached to a moving object to measure distance. As the object moves, the wire extends or retracts, providing accurate linear displacement data, ideal for space-constrained or dynamic environments.

Capacitive Displacement Sensors

Capacitive sensors measure changes in capacitance between a sensor and a target object to detect very small movements. These sensors are commonly used in precision applications where micron-level accuracy is required, such as semiconductor, metrology, and structural lab testing.

Magnetostrictive Linear
Sensors

These sensors use magnetostrictive technology to measure absolute position along a defined path. A magnetic field interacts with a waveguide, producing a time-of-flight signal that’s converted into distance, offering high accuracy and durability in harsh environments.

Each sensor is chosen or designed based on the specific application’s required resolution, range, environmental conditions, output format, and mounting configuration.
Many of our solutions support wireless telemetry, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interfaces, and cloud synchronization, enabling remote monitoring and real-time diagnostics.
