Displacement transducer measures round
corners
Accurately measuring the displacement from a fixed point couldn't be easier than with the DWT draw-wire principle transducer from RDP Electronics
Based on the draw-wire principle, the DWT transducer body is simply bolted to the point of reference, the draw wire is extended, and then 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 600mm up to 3.5m with a high degree of accuracy, and special versions are available for measurement ranges 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. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
