Automation & Scientific Applications
Inductosyn® transducers have been used on virtually every moving axis on every type of machine tool.  It is common to find a rebuilt machine tool with a new digital readout or numerical control system that utilizes the original linear and rotary Inductosyn scales installed 20 or even 30 years ago.   Other applications include telescope pointing, cryogenic chambers, automatic gauge control systems for rolling mills, precision robotics, and special test or calibration systems.
 

Military & Aerospace
In military & aerospace applications, Inductosyn® transducers are among the most widely used position transducers.  Three extremely important characteristics are insensitivity to temperature effects, the ability to be directly mounted onto a variety of substrate materials, and high reliability. Other important characteristics are resistance to shock, vibration, temperature extremes, high pressure, and hard vacuum, plus continuous operation after exposure to contaminants such as oils, liquids, dust, dirt, and salt spray.
