Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring

The CU103601 is a type of position sensor that measures the linear or angular position of an object. It detects changes in position, usually with the help of a transducer. The type of transducer used depends on the application; most commonly, it is a strain gauge, encoder, eddy-current sensor, variable reluctance, or redundant ring encoder.

Application Field

Position sensors are used in a variety of applications. These include medical applications such as physical therapy, robotic applications, automotive or aerospace applications, and automation. For example, in robotics, position sensing is essential for precise movements and accurate maneuvers. In aerospace applications, it is important to accurately measure the position of aircraft and missiles. In medical applications, position sensors are used to detect the movements of limbs or organs in physical therapy sessions. Lastly, in automation, they are used to accurately monitor the movements of robotic arms.

Working Principle

The CU103601 uses a transducer to measure the position of an object. It does this by first detecting the change in the position of the object and then converting it into a measurable signal. This signal is then transmitted to the CU103601 and is processed and analyzed by the circuitry. Finally, the output signal is sent to a data processing device.

The main types of transducers used in the CU103601 are strain gauges, encoders, eddy-current sensors, variable reluctance, or redundant ring encoders. Strain gauges measure the displacement caused by a strain, such as the strain on a beam when it is moved. Encoders detect the angular displacements of an object by measuring the revolutions of a shaft. Eddy-current sensors measure the current induced in a conductor when a magnetic field is applied. An induction transducer, on the other hand, relies on the magnetic field of a coil to detect the position of an object. Variable reluctance transducers measure the magnetic field that is generated when an object moves. Lastly, redundant ring encoders can detect both linear and angular movements.

Outputs

The CU103601 can measure a variety of outputs depending on the type of transducers it is using. The most commonly available outputs are analog voltage or digital pulse. An analog voltage output, when used, provides a continuous signal that is proportional to the position of the object. Digital pulse output is used in applications requiring absolute positioning of the object as it provides an output pulse for each revolution of the shaft.

Precautions

When using the CU103601, it is important to ensure that the environmental conditions are not too much for the device. For example, if the temperature is very high or very low, the transducer may not be able to measure accurately. Additionally, it is important to maintain the cleanliness of the transducer and the connecting wires. If dirt or dust is allowed to accumulate, it can interfere with the signal and reduce the accuracy of the measurement.

Conclusion

The CU103601 is a type of position sensor specially designed to measure linear or angular position of an object. It does this by detecting changes in the position of the object and converting it into a measurable signal. Common transducers used in the CU103601 include strain gauges, encoders, eddy-current sensors, variable reluctance, or redundant ring encoders. The CU103601 can provide either an analog voltage or digital pulse output, depending on the application. It is important to ensure that the environment is compatible with the device, and that the transducer and connecting wires are kept clean.
