FAQ Is your technology the same as an Inductosyn (TM)?
No.
Inductoysn is the tradename for a range of high accuracy, linear and angle encoders from Farrand Controls in the USA.
Inductosyns are based on synchros and require an electrical connection to both stationary and moving elements. Inductosyns are extremely reliable and highly accurate devices used in demanding applications such as spacecraft.
Zetlex technology also uses an inductive technique but:-
- does not require an electrical connection to the moving part of the sensor
- is a small fraction of the cost
- much easier to install
- more resilient to generous installation tolerances
- lighter
- more compact
- includes all necessary electronics within the sensor.
