Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring

The 389421M9447 position sensors are specifically designed for measuring angles, linear positions and various distances. These sensors are highly precise and reliable and can be used in a variety of applications. Their working principle involves two major components - a sensing element and a position transducer.

Sensing Element

The sensing element of the 389421M9447 position sensors consists of a miniature micro-machined capacitive sensor. It is constructed from an array of electrodes arranged in a spiral pattern. These electrodes vibrate in response to movement, sending vibration signals to the position transducer which then convert the signals into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is then analyzed by the associated circuit and can be used to determine the angle, linear position or distance of the sensor relative to the sensed object.

Position Transducer

The position transducer of the 389421M9447 position sensors converts the vibration signals of the sensing element into an electrical signal. This transducer is composed of a ‘bridge’ of four conductive elements, which are arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The inputs for the bridge are derived from the vibration signals of the sensing element while the outputs are derived from the associated circuit.

Application Fields

The 389421M9447 position sensors can be found in a wide variety of industries and applications such as robotic systems, motion control systems, automotive, aerospace and medical industries. One of the most popular applications is in the field of automation where the sensors are used to detect a wide range of motion related parameters such as distance, angle, velocity, acceleration and force.

These position sensors are also used in a variety of scientific research fields such as aerospace, medical imaging and biomechanics. Their capability to accurately detect motion related parameters makes them particularly useful in tracking the motion of objects in various experiments.

Conclusion

The 389421M9447 position sensors are designed for accurately measuring angles, linear positions and other distances. They come with two major components - a sensing element for detecting motion related parameters and a position transducer for converting these parameters into electrical signals. These sensors can be used in a wide variety of industries and applications ranging from robotic systems to scientific research fields.
