Displacement transducer measures round corners
A
RDP Electronics product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team

Accurately measuring the displacement from a fixed point, a draw-wire transducer can make measurements from point-to-point or round corners.
Accurately measuring the displacement from a fixed point could not be easier than with the DWT transducer from RDP Electronics.
Based on the draw-wire principle, the DWT transducer body is simply bolted to the point of reference and the draw wire extended and attached to the moving part of the system.
Measurements can be made point-to-point or round corners.
The plastic-coated draw wire can measure displacements from a maximum of 600mm up to 3.5m with a high degree of accuracy, and special versions are available for measurement ranges up to 100mm or 7.5m.
DWT is available in two housing designs; standard for general internal use and a sealed housing offering a greater degree of environmental protection.
The transducers also offer a variety of outputs including 4-20mA, 0-10VDC.
An LCD display is available as an option.
