Easily Integrate With Your Control System

DIS Sensors are easily integrated into most customers’ control systems with their many output options, including Analog, Serial, Canbus, and digital outputs. DIS Sensors has been providing sensors to industry for the past 25 years around the globe and has a focus on the construction vehicle market.  That is why they have a line of advanced sensors, some of which are SIL/PLD rated for customers that build equipment for domestic consumption and export.

We maintain USA inventory to provide you with quick delivery on certain standard products and offer a full line of accessories that help you integrate the sensors into your applications with minimal effort and searching for the right components.

Typical applications:

  • Angular position
  • Rotation based on angle instead of an encoder
  • Slope
  • Level control
  • Vibration and acceleration
