Displacement transducer - 8738-DK805, DK812

Incremental magnetic measuring heads offer maximum precision over the full range of measurements. As a result of the magnetic operating principle and the robust mechanical construction, they are insensitive to soiling and are therefore ideally suited to use in production facilities. Thanks to the high quality of their measurements, their high protection and long service life, these sensors are used in many technologies (industry, research, development etc.). Typical applications include: —Monitoring both slow and fast movements between machine parts —Measurements of position and positional changes in components and structural foundations, of servo regulators, valve and robot controllers —Measurement of growth, and so on The incremental displacement sensors are based on a magnetic principle: consisting of a magnetic scale and a multi-slot reading head that responds to changes in magnetic flux, they detect linear movements with high precision and resolution.

These displacement sensors are potentiometric displacement sensors used for direct measurement, testing and monitoring of mechanical displacements. The spring-loaded control rod eliminates the need of coupling with the measurement object. A prerequisite for a very long life duration of the devices is a parallel alignment of the motion direction of the measurement object and the rod. Areas of application are: Displacement on: —Electromagnets —Hydraulic cylinders —Switches and buttons Measurements of: —Deformation —Bending —Press-fits —Feed strokes Due to the technology employed in potentiometric displacement sensors, they always operate with a sliding contact system. FEATURES: —Measurement ranges: 0 ... 10 mm to 0 ... 150 mm —Non-linearity up to 0.05 % F.S. —Resolution 0.01 mm —Follower roll on request —Optional with internal spring

Displacement and all mechanical values which can be converted to displacements (e.g. compressive and tensile force, strain, torque and vibration) may be measured by this DC/DC displacement sensor. Typical application areas are the measurement of displacement and strain on machines, servo systems, vehicles, on test plants, in civil engineering and tunnel construction. An integrated maintenance-free electronic and a high-level DC output signal provide an easy handling without any problems. Displacement sensors of series 87240 convert a displacement into an analog electrical signal. They consist of a differential transformer with moveable core, an oscillator and a demodulator. These components are integrated and encapsulated in a cylindrical housing made of stainless steel. The sensors are energized by DC voltage, which is converted to AC by the oscillator and brought to the primary coil of differential transformer.
