KPZ is a miniature rod-type linear displacement sensor (also known as an electronic ruler/resistance ruler), belonging to the subdivision series of potentiometer-type displacement sensors. It is suitable for use in confined spaces, with excellent linearity and easy installation. Next, let's take a look at its suitable working environment, application scenarios, selection and installation points, and application advantages.

Linear sensors, also known as linear position sensors, are pivotal components in various applications requiring high-precision measurement of linear displacement. These sensors convert linear motion into electrical signals, enabling accurate tracking and control in industries ranging from automotive to robotics. This article delves into the key aspects of linear sensors, including their structure, types, and applications.

Linear displacement sensor is a kind of non-electric measurement sensor which is widely valued and applied at home and abroad at present. It consists of a heat-treated vibrating wire detection element, and a spring with one end connected to the vibrating wire and the other end connected to the sliding pull rod to eliminate stress. With the pull of the sliding pull rod, the spring begins to extend and causes the tension of the vibrating string to increase, and the vibration frequency of the steel string also changes, and the tension is proportional to the extension of the spring. Therefore, the change of displacement can be realized by measuring the tension of the steel string, that is, the change of the vibration frequency of the steel string.

Sensor is a kind of equipment that can sense environmental changes and automatically collect, process and transmit data. Intelligent agricultural machinery is mainly integrated in seeders, harvesters and other devices, supporting automatic driving and operation monitoring, and combining sensors and agricultural machinery equipment to realize the automation and intelligence of agricultural machinery operation. For example, using the controllability of sensors to ensure the accuracy of the driving path of agricultural machinery and avoid the collision of agricultural machinery at high speed and damage to agricultural products.

The global linear sensor market is a critical component of the broader industrial automation and precision measurement landscape. Characterized by its essential role in enabling high-accuracy positional feedback, this market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the relentless march of Industry 4.0, the expansion of robotics, and the escalating demand for quality control across manufacturing sectors.

In the cutting-edge fields of industrial automation, precision manufacturing and intelligent measurement, the accuracy of data is the cornerstone of decision-making and control. As the "sensory nerve" connecting the physical world with digital systems, the significance of displacement sensors is self-evident. Among them, KTC linear sensors, with their outstanding performance, reliable quality and forward-looking technical design, are becoming the trusted choice of many industry customers, helping enterprises move towards a new era of intelligence.

KTR linear displacement sensor (especially miniature self-recovery series) is a kind of high-precision measuring element specially designed for narrow space and harsh environment, with automatic spring reset function. The following are its main application fields and characteristics:

Linear displacement sensor is used to measure the displacement change of an object or structure on a linear axis. Its main uses include: 1.Industrial automation: The linear displacement sensor can be used for automatic control on industrial production lines, such as measuring the position of workpieces on mechanical arms, conveyor belts or machine tools, so as to carry out accurate and stable control.

The working principle of linear displacement sensor is the same as that of sliding rheostat. It is used as a voltage divider, and it presents the actual position of the measured position with relative output voltage.
