(Macro Sensors: Pennsauken, NJ) -- Macro Sensors bridges the gap between price and performance for industrial gauging with its GPA Series Spring-Loaded Linear Position Sensors. Packaged as a low-cost alternative for general-purpose gauging applications, these spring-loaded, AC-operated linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) maintain the same quality and performance associated with Macro Sensors LVDTs but at a moderate cost.

The GPA Series Spring-Loaded Gage Heads are ideal for use in nonharsh environments for general positioning and gauging applications in assembly operations, machine-tool and production-line inspection, as well as quality control and testing labs. Specific applications for these economic LVDTs include position feedback for pinch-and-gap roller alignment in printing operations, gauging the thickness of sheet metal during metal-forming and stamping operations, and ensuring critical dimensions for brake-pad manufacturing machines.
