TSM Sensors for Machine Feedback

⚙️Industrial Position Sensors for OEM

TSM Sensors for Safer Motion Control and More Accurate Machine Feedback

Find the right position sensor fast for lifting, construction, agriculture, municipal, and marine equipment.

What are TSM Sensors used for?

TSM Sensors are used to measure linear position, angular position, tilt, rotation, and cylinder speed on industrial machines. They help OEMs improve control, safety, and machine feedback in applications such as outrigger position monitoring, boom extension, anti-tipping systems, basket inclination, cabin rotation, and track position feedback.
