# What is the non-linearity and repeatability of transducer?

## Terms associated with transducers

**Non-linearity:**

Difference in the true, absolute position and the output position value is linearity deviation.The degree to which the output value from the Micropulse transducer system is not perfectly proportional to travel distance.

Standard transducers show a non-linearity of max. ±0.02% full scale.

 

**Repeatability:**

The degree to which the indicated position point B as represented by the output value is reproduced when moving in one direction from point A and back to point B.
