The company has steadily grown over the years to become a leader in the linear and rotary transducer industry with a focus on customer service, innovative design, and high-quality products. The Corvallis facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified with many raw materials and vendor services sourced in the local area. With a core group of long-standing employees, UniMeasure is dedicated to manufacturing position sensors in the USA and providing high-quality solutions while further enhancing customer experience.
Often referred to as string pot, yo-yo pot, draw wire transducer, cable extension transducer, cable actuated transducer, UniMeasure extending wire rope linear position transducers have proven to be an attractive approach for a multitude of applications in many different industries. With relatively non-critical alignment requirements, compact size, and ease of installation wire rope actuated transducers are the linear position measurement system of choice in applications as diverse as bone densitometers in the medical industry, crash testing in the automobile industry, pump jacks in the crude oil extraction industry and irrigation and flood control in the water management industry. With a wide variety of electrical outputs, UniMeasure linear displacement measuring and position sensor products provide an extremely cost effective method for linear position feedback.
UniMeasure rotary position transducers provide an analog output signal that is directly proportional to the angle of rotation of the shaft of the device. With a voltage or 4 to 20 mA analog electrical output, UniMeasure rotary position transducers are also known as angle sensors, analog rotary shaft encoders and analog multiturn analog shaft encoders and absolute angle encoders. These position sensor devices are commonly used in applications where an absolute output signal is a must. Typical use occurs in closed loop process control and in testing applications where oscillatory rotary motion occurs. UniMeasure absolute analog rotary position transducers have proven to be an extremely cost effective alternative for measuring rotational positioning.
