The first factors to consider when selecting linear displacement sensors are the mechanical interface, dimensions, contact, noncontact, and environmental factors. Then review the electrical input/output, voltage, analog, A to D, PWM and SSI factors. After high-level choices have been made, lower-level choices must be made based on performance specifications and environmental ratings. The performance characteristics […]
