Required clearances and minimum distances for displacement sensors
Non-contacting eddy-current displacement sensors produce a high frequency electromagnetic field. If
electrically conductive material other than the object to be measured is located inside this field, the
measurement result will be distorted.
When assembling your non-contacting displacement sensors, strictly observe the clearances and
minimum distances illustrated in the following drawing.
NOTE!
If these clearances and minimum distances must be lowered for design purposes,
please contact Brüel & Kjær Vibro.
