Global Position Sensor Market: Overview

Position sensor is used to detect and measure position with reference to certain fixed point position or point. It also provides positional feedback to the device. Position sensor is used to measure angular, linear, or multi-axis displacement whereas linear sensors are used to detect linear position and angular sensors are used to detect angular position. Potentiometer is most commonly used position sensor. Various types of position sensors are available such as Eddy–current based position sensor, capacitive position sensors, hall effect based magnetic position sensors, linear voltage differential transformers, optical position sensors, fiber-optic position sensor, and magnetostrictive linear position sensor. Position sensors are majorly used in medical equipments, drive-by-wire cars and aircraft systems, packaging machines, etc.

Global Position Sensor Market: Dynamics
