Limiting Motors

We have several things that can only move a certain amount in one direction. One that moves based off user input, and other that when the user presses a button will move to a position and move back when the button is released.

I need some help on limiting the movements, on the one with the button press i dont see an easy spot to place a gear tooth sensor (which we only have 2 of). My question is just using the pwms with the same values to move back and forth accurate enough or not. I dont want to break anything on the robot with it being inaccurate.

The others i think a gear tooth sensor would work but i more sure how accurate they are
