Modern automation and robotics rely on a wide range of sensors to provide accurate feedback for control systems. While encoders and resolvers are the most common, many other sensor types play a crucial role in monitoring motion, force, pressure, and environmental conditions. Selecting the right feedback sensor ensures optimal system performance, safety, and reliability.
These sensors complement or compete with encoders and resolvers, depending on application needs for accuracy, reliability, and performance.
Sensors are designed to detect specific physical quantities, converting them into measurable signals for control and monitoring systems.
These sensors are applied across automation, environmental monitoring, industrial control, and consumer electronics to ensure accurate data collection and reliable system performance.
LVDT is chosen when you need high-precision, contactless linear displacement measurement - such as in hydraulic actuator position feedback, material testing machines or precision assembly equipment.
Tachometer sensor is selected for direct, real-time rotational speed feedback in motor control, conveyor monitoring or any application requiring closed-loop speed regulation and over-speed protection.
Norck Robotics, as a division of Norck, proudly operates under ISO 9001:2015 certification.

A force sensor measures the actual force applied and sends that signal to the controller, which compares it to the desired force setpoint. The controller then adjusts the actuator’s drive commands (current or pressure) to eliminate any difference. This continuous sense–compare–correct cycle maintains precise, consistent force in tasks like robotic assembly, torque control in screwdriving, or pressure regulation in sealing processes, protecting both tool and workpiece.
Norck Robotics develops several output feedback sensors for position, speed, and displacement measurement for high-performance motion systems. From high-end rugged tacho generator speed sensors for rotational feedback to high precision LVDT position sensors used for precision control culminating in sensing solutions for robotics, aerospace, manufacturing, and test environments, our feedback sensors provide real-time accurate measures for a vast array of applications. Whether you need consistent low-latency data in extreme environmental conditions, Norck Robotics feedback sensors are optimized for performance where the standard fails.
