9 technical guides from GUEMISA for choosing, connecting, and installing position, displacement, and force sensors. Each guide explains the measurement principle, the data to compare, and the compatible products.
Choose the sensor
| Guide | What does it answer? |
|---|
| How to measure the position of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder | Integrated rod sensor or external sensor: stroke, pressure, output and IP to measure the position of a cylinder, with a comparative table. |
| Potentiometric, magnetostrictive or LVDT: which one to choose | Compare potentiometric, magnetostrictive, LVDT, and inductive position sensors: principle, wear, stroke, resolution, and output. |
| Linear position sensor with 4-20 mA output for PLC: how to choose it | How to choose a linear position sensor with 4-20 mA output for PLC: two and three wires, maximum load, 0-10 V and potentiometer with conditioner. |
| Non-contact angular position (Hall) sensors for mobile machinery: how to choose them | Non-contact Hall angle sensors for mobile machinery: Hall versus potentiometer, redundancy, IP69K, EMC, CANopen and J1939 outputs, and multi-turn. |
| Thread displacement sensor: when to use it and how to choose the stroke | When to use a thread displacement sensor, which output to choose, speed and acceleration limits, and how to calculate the stroke with margin. |
