The displacement sensoris a potentiometer whose resistance changes in function of the position of a magnet (case of the MagnetoPot sensor) or the pressure exerted along its surface, so the value of its output voltage, that can be read through the analog-to-digital converter of the microcontroller, varies between 0V and the supply voltage.
