MSI-TLH series linear position sensor with resistive output
Universal resistive position sensor is designed for direct and accurate measurement of an object’s position during linear displacement or for providing feedback from the object.
Durability rating of 20 million cycles.
Maximum displacement speed 10 m/s.

Operating principle
The sensor features a profile housing with a captive slider, which is mechanically linked to the profile and moves along dedicated tracks. The slider includes a joint with a male thread, designed to connect the sensor to the moving machine part and compensate for axial misalignments. Inside the sensor, a sensing wiper is attached to the back of the slider, maintaining mechanical contact with the resistive layer on a PCB substrate.
The output signal is generated according to the linear voltage divider principle, where the output voltage changes linearly in direct proportion to the wiper travel across the resistive layer.
