Standard Digital Displacement Sensors | Gauge Probes

The Vacuum retract displacement probes (gauge probes) offer an alternative means of controlling the contact sensor tip using a vacuum rather than a positive pneumatic pressure. In all other ways they perform the same as pneumatic displacement sensors (gauge probes) and like all the digital gauge probes have advantages other traditional LVDT sensors.
Combining multiple sensors using the Orbit Digital Measurement network is easy and data can be read using a Solartron readout or the Gauge Computer Software making system integration simple.

Attention to detail in both design and manufacture of the displacement sensor ensures precision measurement throughout the linear displacement transducer's life.

Solartron Metrology offers a large range of displacement sensors to suit multiple applications with different cable outlets (radial or axial), multiple measuring ranges, different cable types like steel braided which provides additional protection for displacement sensors that are being used in harsh environments.
