Displacement Sensors

Miniature Displacement

Short body length
Rugged Construction
Good Performance

SM sensors cover two standard types in two measurement ranges ±1mm and ±3mm. They are designed for measuring displacement in applications where infinite resolution and precise repeatability is required in a very small size.

Technical Spec Drawing Applications

8 mm diameter body
Rugged Construction
Light weight core
Screened Cable

The small case diameter (6mm and 8mm) allows for easy installation in confined spaces. A right angle output facility is available as a retrofit for the 8mm version.The low core weight makes this range ideal for use in low inertia systems. Cross talk is prevented by the screened cable, which also allows for multiple use of these sensors in close proximity.

Technical Spec Drawing Applications

Measurement range up to 10 mm
DC Voltage Output
Low Power
Good Performance

The DF dc miniature displacement sensor has a friction-free core and the DFg has a free guided core incorporating Delrin bearings. All types incorporate a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) as the measuring source together with oscillator, demodulator andfllter providing a self-contained unit accepting a DC input and providing a DC output relative to armature position.
