Linearity in Industrial Position Sensors - LVDT, LVIT & Potentiometer Accuracy Explained

When it comes to precision measurement in industrial applications, sensor accuracy matters—and linearity plays a critical role. In this video, we break down what linearity means for linear position sensors like LVDTs, LVITs, and potentiometers, and why it directly impacts measurement accuracy, system performance, and control reliability. You’ll learn how linearity is defined, how non-linearity is expressed as a percentage of full scale, and what that means in real-world applications like factory automation, hydraulic systems, and test and measurement environments. We also show how even small deviations from ideal linear output can affect your data—and how high-quality sensors minimize those errors. HGSI’s industrial position sensors are engineered for excellent linearity, delivering accurate, repeatable measurements you can trust. For additional pricing and technical questions CONTACT US
