Displacement Sensors

Precision Linear Measurement for Structural, Industrial & Test Applications
Proact IMS provides high-performance displacement sensors for accurate measurement of linear movement, deflection, expansion, and position tracking in mechanical systems and structures. Our sensors are built for repeatable, high-resolution output and are compatible with DAQ systems, PLCs, and automated control systems.
Available in technologies like LVDT, digital encoder, laser displacement, and potentiometric transducers, our displacement sensors are rugged, field-proven, and ready for integration into dynamic testing, process control, and structural health monitoring solutions.
