Linear Displacement Sensors Special Use Sensors—Linear Displacement Sensors FEATURES • Infinite resolution • True output linearity over the entire measurement range • Low operating forces • Excellent stability and temperature compensation DESCRIPTION Micro-Measurements Linear Displacement Sensors use a fully active 350-ohm strain-gage bridge to sense spindle displacement, giving infinite resolution and excellent linearity. They are compatible with all standard strain-gage instrumentation with bridge excitation from 2 to 10 volts. With a selection of models having full-scale ranges from 1/4 in (5 mm) to 4 in (100 mm), Linear Displacement Sensors feature a unique design that produces maximum operating forces of less than 1 lb (4.4 N). Available with specially designed mounting fixtures, these versatile sensors are ideally suited for use in research, manufacturing and process control applications. ACCURACY Micro-Measurements Linear Displacement Sensors produce an output voltage proportional to a captive, guided spindle displacement by means of a 350-ohm strain gage bridge with four active arms. This arrangement provides excellent temperature compensation and linearity. COMPATIBILITY Micro-Measurements Linear Displacement Sensors exhibit the same inherent advantages for linearity, versatility and precision as many other strain-gage-based sensors. As such, they are systems-compatible with a wide range of commonly used sensors for pressure, load, acceleration, vibration, etc. and normally utilize the same instrumentation.
