High-Performance Eddy Current Sensor Offers Improved Displacement Measurements

Jan. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- The ECL101 Eddy-Current displacement sensor is an improved, CE compliant version of Lion Precision’s original ECL100 sensor. The ECL101 noncontact sensor offers improvements in immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and thermal stability as well as lower power consumption. The linear output sensor is available with a selection of probes offering measurement ranges from 0.5mm to 15mm, and features a unique front panel range indicator to alert the operator to out-of-range conditions. The sensor has applications in any industry requiring precision noncontact displacement measurement, especially in a hostile environment involving fluids or debris in the measurement area.
