Best answer

A linear displacement sensor is a sensor that measures the linear displacement of an object in a fixed direction. It can convert changes in the position of an object into an electrical signal output, typically measured using principles such as resistance, capacitance, or magnetic fields.

The following are the features and applications of linear displacement sensors:

Features of linear displacement sensors:

High accuracy: Linear displacement sensors typically have high accuracy and are capable of measuring small displacements.

High reliability: Due to its simple structure and not susceptible to external interference, it has high stability and reliability.

Easy to install: Linear displacement sensors are relatively simple to install and can be measured simply by mounting them on the measuring object.

Applications for linear displacement sensors:

Machinery manufacturing: linear displacement sensors are widely used in machinery manufacturing, such as machine tools, presses, cranes, conveyors and other equipment, to measure the position and motion trajectory of workpieces or machines.

Automotive industry: Linear displacement sensors are also widely used in the automotive industry, such as accelerator pedal position detection, brake pedal position detection, etc.

Pharmaceutical and medical: linear displacement sensors are also commonly used in pharmaceutical and medical equipment, such as pharmaceutical batching machines, infusion pumps, surgical robots and other equipment, to measure the position and motion trajectory of drugs or tools.
