Block Gauges

Solartron’s Block Gauges makes precision measurements of bores and cavities a simple and reliable process. More generally, the use of these devices is recommended in applications where space and access is limited and where the use of axial probes is not possible. The 2 mm Block Gauge is only 8 mm wide. The Block Gauges offer unrivalled ruggedness, accuracy and repeatability. All three units are extremely versatile and provide datum surfaces and all the adjustments required for precision gauging applications. Block Gauges have robust precision linear bearings with minimal clearance, which limits unmeasured movements maintaining good repeatability even when the contact tip is mounted off centre.

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.

The Rugged digital probe is an option for environments where a standard probe may be easily damaged. The 12 mm body has thicker walls than the standard gauge probe, while a larger bearing with a 5 mm diameter shaft copes with sideload and impacts better.

Digital Displacement Sensors | Compact Gauge Probes

Quite possibly the world’s thinnest displacement transducer (gauge probe), the tiny 3 mm diameter allows for even tighter packing densities for measuring features on intricate parts.

Digital Displacement Sensors | Compact Gauge Probes

New from Solartron Metrology displacement sensors with short body lengths enabling these gauge probes to be mounted in locations where standard displacement sensors will not fit. Considerably shorter than standard digital displacement sensors and much shorter than conventional LVDT sensors, the short range of digital displacement sensors (DSP) still maintain all of the advantages of LVDT sensors while providing superior performance.
 

Like all Solartron digital displacement transducers the short DSP range is fully compatible with the  Orbit Digital Measurement Network making integration of multiple displacement sensors and displacement transducers simple. Data can be read and processed using Solartron readouts or  Gauge Computer Software which incorporates basic SPC.
 

For Spring Push Probes,  DSP/X/S,  like a conventional LVDT the displacement probe tip is pushed out using an internal spring. The precision bearings inside the digital displacement senor ensure precise positioning of the contact senor tip. At the same time the unique bearing design provides repeatable measurements even when the displacement transducer is subjected to mechanical side loads. Please see understanding repeatability for more information on this important feature.
