Angle, Linear Position Measuring

The HMC1512-TR angle and linear position measuring device is a sensor used to measure angular and/or linear positions of an object. This type of position measuring device uses a rotary transformer for angular position measurement and an inductive transducer for linear position measurement. The device is typically used to measure the position of high-speed rotating objects.

Working Principle

The working principle of this type of position sensing device is based on detecting changes in the phase coefficient of a rotary transformer and the inductance of an inductive transducer over time. The devices detects changes in the phase coefficient due to the fact that the phase coefficient is the difference in voltage amplitude of adjacent coils in the rotating transformer. The inductance of the transducer is determined by measuring the amount of current induced in the transducer due to the presence of a magnetic field.

Application Field

The HMC1512-TR position sensing device is frequently used in an industrial environment. These types of devices are especially applicable for measuring the position of high speed spinning objects, such as spindles in textile machines, spindles in printing machines, as well as in metal processing, machine tooling, and the production of springs. This type of sensor is also used in medical applications, such as measuring the position of a needle during a biopsy or studying the motion of a joint in a medical robot.

The HMC1512-TR is a reliable, high-precision position sensing device suitable for a wide variety of applications. Its features include high linearity and accuracy, low temperature drift, and high frequency response. Its solid construction and low power consumption makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of industrial, medical, and automotive applications.
