DC/DC Path Sensor - 87240 - Path Sensor, integrated amplifier, no phase and harmonic issues, IP64

With these DC/DC displacement sensors, it is possible to measure displacements and convert all mechanical quantities that can be transformed into displacements through additional devices (e.g., compressive and tensile forces, strains, torques, vibrations). Typical application areas include displacement and strain measurements on machines, servo systems, motor vehicles, testing stands, and in civil and tunnel construction. The integrated, maintenance-free electronics in the displacement sensors and a high DC output signal ensure easy and trouble-free handling. The sensors of the 87240 series convert a measurement path into an analog electrical signal. They consist of a differential transformer with a movable core, an oscillator, and a demodulator. These components are housed in a cylindrical, stainless steel casing and are encapsulated. The sensors are powered by DC voltage, which is converted by the oscillator into an AC voltage and fed to the primary winding of the differential transformer.
