Alliance Sensors Group Expands Direct OEM Support for Linear Position Sensor Integration
PENNSAUKEN, N.J. — September 22, 2026 — Alliance Sensors Group, a division of H.G. Schaevitz LLC, is expanding its focus on working directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to provide linear position sensing solutions designed around the specific requirements of their equipment and applications.
Through its LVIT-based linear position sensor product line, Alliance Sensors Group works with OEM engineering and product development teams to help identify, configure, and integrate the appropriate sensing technology into new and existing equipment designs.
The company's OEM-focused offering includes the LZ-9.5, LZ-13, LZ-19, and LZ-19 UL linear position sensors, providing OEM designers with options for applications ranging from compact equipment and assemblies to demanding industrial systems. The LZ-19 UL provides a UL-listed option for applications where applicable certification requirements are part of the equipment design. “Replacing Linear Potentiometers is our Specialty” said John Matlack of Alliance Sensors Group.
"OEMs often need more than an off-the-shelf sensor. They need a sensing solution that works within the mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements of their equipment," said John Matlack. "Our goal is to work directly with OEM engineering teams to help them select and integrate the right linear position sensor for their application."
Designed Around the OEM Application
Alliance Sensors Group's linear position sensors are designed for applications where accurate and reliable measurement of mechanical position is critical to equipment operation and control.
By engaging with OEMs directly, Alliance Sensors Group can support customers throughout the sensor selection and integration process, helping engineering teams evaluate factors such as:
- Required measurement range and resolution
- Mechanical mounting and installation requirements
- Available space and sensor configuration
- Environmental and operating conditions
- Electrical interface requirements
- Equipment-specific integration considerations
- Production requirements for OEM applications
The company's LZ series gives OEM designers a range of linear position sensing options while maintaining the benefits of LVDT technology for demanding industrial applications.
A Direct Engineering Partnership
Alliance Sensors Group is positioning its OEM program as more than a component sale. The company works directly with OEM engineering and purchasing teams to understand the application, determine the appropriate sensing solution, and support the integration of the sensor into the finished equipment.
"We want OEM customers to view us as a resource during the design process, not simply as a supplier they contact after the design is complete," added John Matlack. "Getting involved early can help engineers select the right sensing approach and avoid having to adapt the equipment around a sensor that wasn't designed with the application in mind."
Alliance Sensors Group's direct OEM initiative is intended to support manufacturers across a broad range of industrial equipment and machinery applications.
For OEMs developing new equipment or looking to replace an existing linear position sensing solution, Alliance Sensors Group invites engineering and purchasing teams to discuss their application requirements directly with the company.
