One of the most unknown phenomena in modern physics is gravity. Its measurement and laws remain somewhat of an enigma. Researchers at Tohoku University have revealed important information about a new ...

ELECTRONICS: The KEYENCE LK-G5000 Laser Displacement Sensor, now with a newly developed RS-CMOS sensor, provides a 392 kHz sampling rate that’s 8 times faster than previous models, ±0.02% Full Scale ...

Sensors for the measurement of displacement based on a number of different physical principles are available for a wide range of applications. This article considers systems capable of resolutions of ...

Inductive eddy current position/displacement sensors require an electrically conductive target. The target does not have to be grounded, and in general, the more electrically conductive it is, the ...

When the job at hand is measuring something with micron-range precision, thoughts generally turn to a tool with a Mitutoyo or Starrett nameplate. But with a clever design and a little electronics know ...

The Vishay 34 PHE absolute position sensor provides 10-turn linear or rotary displacement sensing with a 3600° range.

Linear encoders by their very design overcome various mechanical machine limitations by providing a direct source of positional feedback. They can monitor most applications, including hostile, oily ...
