Abstract
Venture Development Corporation is pleased to announce the release of new
research on the position sensor market. After its successful 2005 North
American (NA) study on proximity, photoelectric, and linear displacement
sensors, VDC has continued its research on the industry with a new analysis
including 2006 base-year shipments and 2007-2011 forecasts. In addition, VDC
has added a new volume on rotary position sensors, elaborating on encoder,
potentionmetric, resolver and other related segments.
