What are Displacement Sensors (Displacement Gauges) and Dimension Measurement Systems? What is a displacement sensor? A displacement sensor (displacement gauge) is primarily used to measure the range of where an object has to travel and in relation to a reference position. Displacement sensors have multiple uses. Its primary use is for dimension measurement to figure out an object’s width, height, and thickness. Accuracy, application and usage environment is required when selecting the best equipment. What is a measurement sensor? A measurement sensor is a device that is used to measure an object to ascertain its dimensions such as by [...]
