Fiberoptic Sensors for Non-contact Measurement of Linear Distance, Displacement and Vibration
Glass fibers with a light beam width of 25°, 30° and 66° are used to manufacture Philtec sensors.
The narrower beams give longer ranges. The standard cable length is 90 cm.
25° fibers can be used in continuous lengths up to 3 meters.
30° fibers can be used for continuous lengths up to 9 meters.
66° fibers can be used for continuous lengths of up to 15 meters.
All sensors can be manufactured according to customer specifications.
Fiber-optic sensors for distance measurement and vibration measurement work without contact and are a favorable alternative for measurements in production engineering. Typical applications are here, for example:
- Motion detection of the actuators
- Vibration in the ball bearing
- Deflection of the membrane
- Distance measurement in liquid
- Dynamic inspection on the fuel injector
- Penetration study and stroke study
- Positioning of parts
- Vibration investigation on the piezocrystal
- Piston Position Detection (TDC)
- piston travel
