Inductive displacement transducers have near-infinite resolution

HBM is launching the compact WA and WI series of inductive displacement transducers for measurements with close to infinite resolution, 80mV/V sensitivity and IP67 protection.

Inductive displacement transducers have near-infinite resolution

The WA series transducers are designed to give outstanding mechanical robustness in all test conditions. They are designed with short overall lengths, yet the maximum measuring length is 500mm. A standard accuracy of 0.2 per cent can be obtained because the transducers use HBM's patented WA quarter-bridge transducers with their optional 0.5-10V voltage output. All the electronics are integrated in the connection cable as a fully encapsulated WA-Electronic module. The WA series is mainly intended for automobile and railcar construction because the bifilar temperature compensation makes them insensitive to temperature variations.

HBM's WI series of inductive half-bridge displacement transducers are available with measuring lengths of 2.5, 5 and 10mm and a shaft diameter of 8mm. Their compact design makes the transducers suitable for a wide range of applications where space is limited. The WI transducers have a linearity deviation of ±0.2 per cent.
