Displacement detection of hydraulic diving platforms
In the water sports center in Leipzig, athletes and future Olympic athletes train in water diving. To achieve optimal training results, height-adjustable diving platforms are used. These enable the athletes to jump from individual heights. The system also has considerable advantages for synchronized divers because the towers can be moved to the same height. Draw-wire […]
Combined displacement and inclination sensor saves cost, installation space
In many applications, both displacement and inclination must be determined for ultimate functionality. Usually two different sensors need two be applied to capture both parameters, even if the variables need to be measured at the same spot of the machine. In such cases, a combined measurement of the variables in one sensor saves costs, installation […]
