Position Sensors

Linear and angular position transducers detect the position of mechanical parts in motion. Gefran manufactures a wide and unique range of models, using consolidated and new technologies, including the potentiometric technology, magnetostriction, Hall effect, MEMS, and magnetic dragging.

Magnetostrictive

Contact less linear position transducer with magnetostrictive technology for longer lifetime. The absence of electrical contact on the cursor eliminates all wearing and guarantees almost unlimited life.
Direct and reverse signal for a wide flexibility of use. The high performance in terms of EMC immunity make the WPG series suitable for use in industrial environments with presence of electromagnetic interference.

Potentiometers

Gefran’s Mounting grooves provide a good alternative to fastening with brackets .Typical applications include plastic injection presses, vertical presses, and many other types of processing machinery .

All potentiometers are individually tested at the manufacturer, and an individualised Linearity Error Chart is included with each unit.
 

Rotary

Rotary sensor for measurement ranges up to 360° with ability to program analogue versions of ±15° steps.
Contactless Hall technology for almost infinite sensor life due to absence of wear on the sensing element.
Various configurations make the product easy to install on vehicles.
High IP protection level, resistance to shock and vibration, and high electromagnetic compatibility make these products suitable for many mobile hydraulics applications.
Developed to ensure a robust and high-performance solution for applications such as agricultural machines, construction machines, material handling equipments.
