MTS’ linear-position sensors provide feedback position information for machine platens on metal forming and shearing presses. For accurate, continuous, and absolute output in high-shock and vibration environments, an MTS linear-position sensor's rugged, reliable construction delivers the best performance. Additionally, MTS can provide multiple-position monitoring with up to 15 magnets.
