Active rotary position sensors
Active rotary position sensors from KUHNKE are able to sense angles between 0° and 360°. They can be programmed to match any specific application.
Active linear sensors
Active linear sensors from KUHNKE are available for detection ranges between 20 and 100 mm. Various electrical interfaces allow easy connection to the related control unit.
Passive rotary position sensors
One typical application of passive rotary position sensors is their use as sensing element for vehicle level control. Their highly robust design allows the use even under adverse operating conditions.
Passive linear sensors
Passive inductive linear sensors are used to monitor the operating condition of transmissions and clutches. They are able to detect distances between 20 mm and 100 mm.
