Advantages and common faults of linear displacement sensors
Linear displacement sensor is a type of sensor used to measure surface deformation or rotational displacement of objects. This type of sensor is widely used, such as in automobiles, machinery, ships, etc., and has many advantages. Below, we will introduce the advantages and common troubleshooting methods of linear displacement sensors for your reference.
一、Advantages of Linear Displacement Sensors
1. Easy installation: Linear displacement sensors can be easily installed with existing equipment, occupying minimal space and not affecting the normal operation of the original mechanism;
2. Excellent measurement accuracy: Linear displacement sensors have excellent measurement accuracy, small errors, reaching below micrometers, and high accuracy and reliability;
3. Strong corrosion resistance: Linear displacement sensors have good corrosion resistance and can be used in harsh environments without affecting their normal posture for long-term use;
4. Reliable application: Linear displacement sensors have very high reliability, small errors, long service life, strong and stable output signals, and a wide range of applications.
二、Common faults in handling linear displacement sensors
1. Power failure: The first step in detecting faults in linear displacement sensors is to check for any faults in the power supply. Once a fault is detected, it should be replaced to eliminate the problem;
2. Communication failure: The linear displacement sensor uses network communication. If the network fails, it will cause reading deviation and inaccuracy. You can try replacing the signal line to solve this problem;
3. Damage fault: The linear displacement sensor may experience shell damage, broken resistance wires, internal circuit burning, and other faults. In this case, it can only be replaced with a new one to solve the outstanding problem;
4. Temperature malfunction: Linear displacement sensors are greatly affected by temperature changes and have a certain temperature control range. When the temperature exceeds this range, it will affect the reading results. Temperature control methods can be tried to solve this problem.
In short, linear displacement sensors are a measuring instrument with many advantages, such as easy installation, excellent measurement accuracy, strong corrosion resistance, and reliable application. However, special attention should be paid to protective measures during installation and use. When the linear displacement sensor malfunctions, it can be investigated from different aspects such as power failure, communication failure, damage failure, temperature failure, etc., to analyze the root cause of the instrument failure.
