Positioning Sensors

Electromechanical actuators are exceedingly suitable for traversing between intermediate positions and for continuous adjustment in controlling and metering tasks.

For traversing to any position or for continuous adjustment sensors for path measuring are integrated within the electromechanical actuators.
