DISPLACEMENT SENSOR APPLICATIONS

DISPLACEMENT SENSOR APPLICATIONS 

Machine automation - these are extreme environments so the sensor must have the correct sealing to be suitable. 

Aerospace applications - satellites, drones, space vehicles and flight simulators all have a requirement for movement to be measured and therefore displacement sensors are required.

Hydraulics - sensors in these applications usually need to be resistant to shock and vibration due to the nature of the industry.

Power turbines - these applications usually use LVDTs which are a type of displacement sensor. 

Research testing facilities - another application which requires suitable sealing for the environment. 

Elevators - measuring the position of the elevator and door opening position.

Special Effects - to create some special effects within the film industry, displacement sensors are needed to help with the creation.

Ramp and bridge position - in any instance when a ramp or bridge needs to be repositioned a displacement sensor is needed. The exact position needs to be measured to ensure the vehicles driving on the bridge/ ramp are safe.
