Inductive Displacement

An inductive displacement sensor is a measuring instrument that utilises changes in output voltage when an armature moves in a coil, e.g. indirect displacement/position measurement. Inductive displacement transducers from Schreiber Messtechnik offer a range of rugged sensors from 4mm measurement up to 360mm. The magneto-resistive types measure up to 1500mm, and a range of rotary angle sensors operate up to 90 degrees. Models are available with or without built-in electronics, and for further information, please ask about the Schreiber range.

Also available from MicroStrain are the tiny inductive sensors for specialised applications where very small displacement measurements are required, or space is at a premium. These sensors necessitate external electronics but offer a remarkable linear stroke range to body length ratio, surpassing traditional LVDTs in compact environments. Designed for durability, these sensors can operate efficiently at temperatures as high as 175°C and in corrosive media such as saline, oil, and brake fluid. Thanks to their near-frictionless design, they can withstand millions of cycles without any wear or degradation in signal quality, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance. Whether for gauging, non-gauging, micro, or submarine applications, these robust sensors deliver exceptional accuracy and resilience.
