Summary and Examples of Displacement

Displacement Transducer

Our displacement transducers are used to measure various types of displacement such as displacement in structures and machinery as well as elongation and cracks in materials testing. They are widely used in applications ranging from testing and research to control. We offer a wide spectrum of displacement transducers to fit any type of measuring item, mounting location or displacement, and our products can easily be combined with Data Loggers or other equipment for automatic measurement of multiple points.

OUTPUT POLARITY FOR DISPLACEMENT

In principle, measured value changes in positive (+) direction when the distance between the displacement transducer and the contact point increases or when the distance between two contact points increases (for crack measurement). (This does not apply to some products.)

EXAMPLE OF DISPLACEMENT TRANSDUCER USE

General displacement measurements

s_disp1_0
This configuration is used to measure structural deformation and movement.

Measuring cracks in concrete

s_disp2_0
This configuration is used to measure opening displacement due to crack propagation in concrete.

Measuring girder bend

s_disp3_0
This configuration is used to measure bend with a load applied to a bridge girder.

Measuring displacement and bending strains

s_disp4_0
This configuration is used to measure displacement and bending strains in fork-lift truck onboard measurement.
