Every experienced machinist knows the value of taking regular measurements. If one works carefully and checks dimensions frequently, it’s possible to make a part much more precise than could be made ...

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products Inc. in Middletown, Conn., is introducing the SC-2440 off-the-shelf, self-contained analog output displacement sensor for ...

One of the most unknown phenomena in modern physics is gravity. Its measurement and laws remain somewhat of an enigma. Researchers at Tohoku University have revealed important information about a new ...

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products Inc. in Middletown, Conn., is introducing the KD-1925, KD-1950, and KD-1975 high-precision displacement sensors for power ...

Sensors for the measurement of displacement based on a number of different physical principles are available for a wide range of applications. This article considers systems capable of resolutions of ...

ELECTRONICS: The KEYENCE LK-G5000 Laser Displacement Sensor, now with a newly developed RS-CMOS sensor, provides a 392 kHz sampling rate that’s 8 times faster than previous models, ±0.02% Full Scale ...

Linear encoders by their very design overcome various mechanical machine limitations by providing a direct source of positional feedback. They can monitor most applications, including hostile, oily ...

Inductive eddy current position/displacement sensors require an electrically conductive target. The target does not have to be grounded, and in general, the more electrically conductive it is, the ...

When the job at hand is measuring something with micron-range precision, thoughts generally turn to a tool with a Mitutoyo or Starrett nameplate. But with a clever design and a little electronics know ...

The LVDT-based sensors are only 4 mm thick (barely larger than a matchstick) including core and coils, allowing them to fit into highly confined spaces. The contactless, wear-free sensors for ...

Noncontact sensors and measurement devices those that monitor a target without physical contact provide several advantages over contacting devices, including the ability to provide higher dynamic ...

Elite series non-contact sensors measure very small displacements of conductive materials with high resolution in precise positioning applications. Compact WA and WI inductive displacement transducers ...
