Application

These displacement sensors are used for direct measurement, testing and monitoring of mechanical displacements. The spring-loaded control rod at model 8712 eliminates the need coupling with the measurement object.
A prerequisite for a very long life duration of the devices is a parallel alignment of the direction of motion of the measurement object with the control rod.

Areas of application are:

Displacement on  electromagnets,
hydraulic cylinders,
switches and buttons.
Measurements of  deformation,
bending,
indentation.
Description

Based on their technology, potentiometric displacement sensors consistently make use of sliding components. The resistance track is trimmed in special process to minimize friction and stick-slip for long stability and measuring quality.
The double supported rod is equipped with durable, low-friction, narrow-tolerance plain bearings which ensure a long service life and high measuring accuracy too.
Model 8710 is designed without spring. Mechanical linkage using joint with take up of play, M4 thread.
At model 8712 a pre-stressed spring presses sensor tip against the measurement object. Tip with M 2.5 thread and stainless steel ball. The bore at rod end serves for coupling retraction units.
The stainless steel pallet is recessed into the sensor tip. The bore in the connecting rod stop at the rear serves for coupling retraction units.
