7. TYPES OF DISPLACEMENT
1. Linear Displacement
Linear motion measured in few microns to few
centimetres
2. Angular Displacement
Rotational motion measured from a few
seconds to 360o
8. SELECTION CRITERIA
For designing and selecting a displacement sensor
we must know the following questions:
๏ผ What is type of the displacement ?
๏ผ What resolution and accuracy is required ?
๏ผ What is required detection range ?
๏ผWhat is the power dissipation ?
๏ผ What is the Cost of the conditioning circuit ?

Editor's Notes
Asslam o alaikum..
A very good morning to all of you..
I think most of you know me, but Iโll introduce myself anyway..
Itโs nice to see so many young people todayโฆ
an object's displacement equals the difference between a starting and stopping position, and is independent of the path that the objects travels
Being a fundamental quantity,
The Bourdon pressure gauge uses the principle that a flattened tube tends to straighten or regain its circular form in cross-section when pressurized
Resolution is the ability to 'resolve' differences; that is, to draw a distinction between two things. High resolution means being able to resolve small differences.
The accuracy of a system refers to how much the sytem, whether in measurement or control, deviates from the truth. To be meaningful, accuracy must really refer to 'worst case accuracyโ
The accuracy of a system can never exceed its resolution!
Sensing element
The part of the transducer which respond to a physical phenomenon or change in the physical phenomenon
Transduction element
It transform the output of the sensing element to an electrical output.
Rotary Variable Differential Transformer (RVDT) is an electromechanical transducer that provides a variable alternating current (AC) output voltage that is linearly proportional to the angular displacement of its input shaft. When energized with a fixed AC source, the output signal is linear within a specified range over the angular displacement.
the linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) (also called just a differential transformer,[1] linear variable displacement transformer,[2] or linear variable displacement transducer [3]) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement (position)
A resistive transducer that works on the principle of voltage division. A passive transducer can measure both translational as well as rotational motions.
Where
R= Resistance, ฮฉ
ฯ= Resistivity of material , ฮฉ-m
l=length, m
A= Area, m 2
Useful for measurement of linear displacement from 1mm to 10mm(resolution) with an accuracy of 0.005%
Cylindrical Capacitor is used for Measurement of Angular Displacement
The capacitance is maximum when the two plates completely overlap each other i.e., when ฮธ=pi (360)
Sensitivity is constant, and the relationship between capacitance and displacement is linear
When an external force is applied and if the steel iron core moves in the right hand side direction then the emf induced in the secondary coil 2 is greater when compared to the emf voltage induced in the secondary coil 1.
When a high-power appliance switches on, it dramatically reduces the load impedance.
If the load impedance is not very much higher than the power supply impedance, the voltages will drop. In a domestic environment, switching on a heating appliance may cause incandescent lights to dim noticeably.
If no one else has any questions I will leave it there.
