Webinar Summary

Position Transducers play a critical role in a multitude of industrial, communications, infrastructure, and aerospace applications. Depending on the needs of the application, position feedback can be either continuous or discrete in nature. Sensing technology includes encoders, resolvers, potentiometers, rotary limit switches as well as geared combinations -also either fiber optic or electromechanical versions.

This webinar will present case studies on mission critical applications where the differen sensor types and technologies are applied. We will look at a range of industrial, medical, infrastructure, transportation, defense, and aerospace applications to understand their individual challenges and what position sensor type and technology was chosen.
