Gemco 956 eBlok is a high-performance, cost-effective linear position sensing solution that is designed for applications that often would choose traditional linear potentiometers for position monitoring. The 956 eBlok utilizes field-proven Magnetostrictive technology to give absolute analog position, repeatable to 0.001% of the programmable sensing distance. Traditional linear potentiometers are contact-type devices that drift with temperature and are prone to wear and breakdowns, especially when exposed to containments or ongoing repetitive movement in applications like plastic molding machinery and other automated manufacturing machines.

Accuracy, repeatability, and longevity are much improved in modern position sensors like Magnetostrictive linear displacement transducers. But these types of linear position sensors have traditionally had higher price tags compared to potentiometers. Gemco has succeeded in developing a cost-effective linear sensing solution. One that will outperform linear potentiometers and other low-cost sensors in efficiency and longevity, and perform well on ROI. Gemco’s 956 eBlok delivers the quality expected from Magnetostrictive linear displacement transducers. But, due to its limited need for service, and improved longevity, will offer a highly competitive ROI based on the life of the instrument.
