Position Indicators – Precise Positioning for Your Applications

Mechanical and digital position indicators are essential components in many industrial and technical applications. They provide a precise display of the position of machine elements, ensuring accurate control and monitoring.

What are Position Indicators?

A position indicator is a measuring device that displays the current position of a movable component within a system. These indicators are commonly used in machinery and equipment to visualize the exact position of spindles, linear axes, or adjustment mechanisms. Position indicators help to optimize workflows by enabling precise adjustments and reliable repeatability.

Variants

There are analog position indicators, which display the position via a pointer. In contrast, digital position indicators feature an electronic LCD display. For frequent format adjustments, electronic position indicators with data transmission via radio frequency are particularly suitable. Together with a control unit, they form a wireless system for quick positioning. The display position, counting direction, and gear ratio can generally be configured according to the application’s requirements.

Advantages of Position Indicators

Accurate Positioning: Position indicators provide an exact readout of the position of moving parts, simplifying machine control and monitoring. This ensures that all elements are always in the correct position.
Versatile Application: Available in various designs, position indicators can be used for linear and rotary movements across different industries, including industrial automation, mechanical engineering, and packaging technology.
Durability and Reliability: Modern position indicators are highly robust and resistant to industrial conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Applications of Position Indicators

Position indicators are widely used in various industries.

Automation Technology: Essential in automated production lines for adjusting machine components such as guide rails, feed units, and format adjustments.
Mechanical Engineering: Position indicators are integrated into adjustment spindles and machine elements to enable precise control. They are often mounted on so-called Linear Actuator Connectors
