Displacement transducer

摘要

A displacement transducer capable of measuring very small displacements (on the order of 100 mum or less) comprises a strain gage mounted to the curved arc of a substrate. The transducer has a resolution of at least 10 mum, preferably at least 1 mum or better. The transducer can measure positive or negative displacement in a specimen and can also be used as an extremely sensitive load cell for very high resolution weight, load or mass determinations.
