Tool turrets are indexing tool holders for lathes, transfer machines, and other machine tools. They allow equipment to carry multiple cutting tools at one time and mount individual tools in the correct sequence

Screw machines are machine tools that use a number of cutting tools, fed into a rotating rod or bar, to make screws and other turned parts.

Linear position sensors, all types, is a general search form for all linear position / displacement detection product areas

Magnetostrictive position sensors are non-contact linear position sensors that use the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields to produce a strain pulse that moves along a waveguide. One field is from a magnet that moves along the outside of the waveguide. The other field is from the waveguide itself

Rotary position sensors include potentiometers, resolvers and a variety of magnetic and capacitive technologies. Sensors are designed for angular displacement less than one turn or for multiturn displacement

Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) linear position sensors have a series of inductors in a hollow cylindrical shaft and a solid cylindrical core. These devices produce an electrical output proportional to the position of the core

Magneto resistive linear position sensors and switches have a linear resistance output signal representing the distance an object is from a reference point

Variable reluctance linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that use variable reluctance based technology, and whose output signal represents the distance between an object and a reference point

Eddy current linear position sensors detect the distance from a target by using magnetic fields generated by a reference and sensing coils

Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis

Valve position indicators are devices that show the position of the closure element

Inductive linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that determine an object's coordinates (linear or angular) with respect to a reference

Hall effect position sensors are noncontact devices that function via an electrical potential (for example, a voltage) that is developed across an axis perpendicular to an applied current flow and the presence of a magnetic field

Fiber optic linear position sensors use fiber optic technology to sense position and displacement

Multi-axis Positioning Systems make use of linear, rotary and goniometric stages, slides and drives in various combinations to create standard and custom positioning systems
