Applications

The ST403 Series are non-contact displacement sensors using the eddy current principle.  They can measure equally well against any conductive targets that are non-ferro-magnetic or ferromagnetic.  A coil is potted in the sensor case and is energized by a constant frequency alternating current.  The electromagnetic field from the coil generates eddy currents in the target material resulting in a change in the coil impedance.  Demodulated, linearized and amplified, the impedance variation yields a linear electrical signal proportional to the distance of the target from the sensor.  ST403 sensors do not apply forces to the target.  The application is free of wear and maintenance.

Selections                

ST403-U Series:

The ST403-U unshielded sensor models U05, U1, U3, U6 and U8 are designed with a coil located directly behind the face of a non-metallic cylinder.  They provide maximum sensitivity in non-flush installations.  Sensors U15, U22, U40 and U80 have to be mounted on a metal plate with a minimum diameter of 2 times the diameter of the sensor.

ST403-S Series:

The ST403-S shielded sensor models S05, S1, S2, S4 and S6 are encased in a stainless steel housing with mounting threads right up to their faces.  This shields the coil from the influence of adjacent metal parts.  These sensor models are especially suitable for flush mounting with metal surfaces.
