Electromagnetic displacement sensors are used extensively in applications for automated processes, quality assurance, test rigs, hydraulics, pneumatic cylinders, and automotive engineering. The advantages of these displacement sensors are well known and highly valued, and include ruggedness, reliability under harsh conditions, high signal quality and good temperature stability. The electromagnetic sensors of the induSENSOR series are based on the well-proven inductive and eddy current principle. They are used successfully both in single and high volume OEM applications.

Application N/A Gauges from Micro-Epsilon have many possible fields of application. Due to different measuring ranges and configuration settings, the gauges are suitable for numerous measurement and inspection tasks. Combined with multi-channel controllers, the DTA gauges are often used for dimensional measurement and inspection tasks, e.g., in automated quality control, R&D and production monitoring.
Additional Information N/A LVDT gauge sensors DTA-xG8 are primarily used for the measurement and inspection of workpiece geometry (e.g. length, width, diameter, thickness, depth, height). Therefore, different measuring ranges from ±1 mm to ±10 mm are available. The gauges are particularly suitable for applications involving a large number of pieces.

These gauges have an axial cable outlet and are equipped with either a plain bearingguided plunger and a return spring, or with a pneumatic push rod. Depending on the measuring object, different probe tips are available. DTA gauges can be operated with every MSC controller. Depending on this controller, single-/dual-/multi-channel measurements are possible. In addition to the well-established analog output, modern fieldbuses are available for integration purposes.
