Position Sensors
With Camille Bauer POSITION SENSOR portfolio, we offer solutions for angle, position and inclination measurement. The range extends from simple built-in units to robust units for applications in harsh environments. The angle and inclination measuring systems serve as an important link between mechanics and control.
