Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time information to feedback-hungry PLCs ...
Vice President Copley Controls Corp. Canton, Mass. Historically, industry has depended on ball screws, belt drives, and pneumatic mechanisms for automation’s positioning tasks. But the rising demand ...
A new family of permanent magnet linear displacement (PLCD) sensors is based on the electromagnetic induction principle, which places a primary winding around a soft ...
TURCK’s magnetically actuated linear displacement sensor is available with measuring ranges of 100, 125, 160 and 200 mm. The Q25L sensor is well-suited for applications that require precise signal ...
Offered as an alternative to proximity switches where continuous linear feedback is necessary, the EZ-Track programmable, auto-tuning non-contact linear displacement transducers (LDTs) employ ...
Eddy current displacement sensors (ECDS) represent a mature, yet continuously evolving, non-contact measurement technology that utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction. When an ...
ProSense linear potentiometers measure linear displacement by converting mechanical movement into a resistive output. These potentiometers can use a signal conditioner or 10 V DC supply to provide an ...
Certain electromagnetic devices such as differential transformers are effective at translating the displacement of a magnetic armature into an AC voltage, which is a linear function of the ...
