New from Solartron Metrology displacement sensors with short body lengths enabling these gauge probes to be mounted in locations where standard displacement sensors will not fit. Considerably shorter than standard digital displacement sensors and much shorter than conventional LVDT sensors, the short range of digital displacement sensors (DSP) still maintain all of the advantages of LVDT sensors while providing superior performance.

Features

• Same performance as standard digital probes with shorter body

• 2, 4, and 5 mm measuring range
• Accuracy better than 0.1 µm
• Repeatability precision better than 0.05 µm
• Resolution better than 0.01 µm
• Range of contact sensor tips available
• Spring actuation
• Standard contact sensor tip force 0.7N (other options available)
• IP65 sealing
• Superior performance compared to traditional Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT)

Like all Solartron digital displacement transducers the short DSP range is fully compatible with the  Orbit Digital Measurement Network making integration of multiple displacement sensors and displacement transducers simple. Data can be read and processed using Solartron readouts or  Gauge Computer Software which incorporates basic SPC.

For Spring Push Probes, DSP/X/S, like a conventional LVDT the displacement probe tip is pushed out using an internal spring. The precision bearings inside the digital displacement senor ensure precise positioning of the contact senor tip. At the same time the unique bearing design provides repeatable measurements even when the displacement transducer is subjected to mechanical side loads. Please see understanding repeatability for more information on this important feature.

 
Solartron Metrology offers a large range of displacement sensors to suit multiple applications with different cable outlets (radial or axial), multiple measuring ranges, different cable types like steel braided which provides additional protection for displacement sensors that are being used in harsh environments. If you cannot find the displacement senor you need please contact your local sales office or distributor.
