  2. Introduction (1) • Potentiometers. Linear as well as rotary potentiometer are applied. • Potentiometers are used in situations where accuracy is not of major importance, • Accuracies may vary from 0.3 % to 5 %. • Device is normally cheap. • Incremental Encoders.Linear and rotary incremental encoders are applied. • Rather inexpensive devices. • The performance depends on the resolution of the encoder slit pattern. • They can can be very accurate indeed. Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  3. Introduction (2) • Absolute Encoders. Again linear and rotary absolute encoders exist • The code pattern is in the majority of cases a Gray code pattern, binary code patterns are much less common • Electrical Transformers • For very accurate linear displacement measurements often Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT)are applied • The rotary displacement can be accurately measured with rotary electrical transformer devices such as the Resolver or Synchro Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  4. Making the Right Choice • The following requirements and constraint should be addressed: • Required resolution • Required accuracy • Environmental constraints • Integration aspects • Availability • The selected displacement sensor is the most important factor and deciding for overall performance of a system especially when the device forms part of a feedback loop Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  5. Potentiometer (1) • Operating range from 1 mm to 1m Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  6. Potentiometer (2) Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  7. Encoders • Typically used as shaft angle encoders • The device output is in digital form • Digital output needs in general to be transformed with the aid of a computing device to obtain magnitude and direction of movement as well as position or angle information • Consist of a pattern impressed upon a part of the system that characterizes the motion • Two main classes of optical encoders: • Absolute encoders and • Incremental encoders • For velocity measurement nearly always incremental encoders are applied Dr. ir.

  25. Signal conditioning Scheme Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  26. Signal Conditioning of a LVDT (1) • Location of the displacementtransducer coil • consider the phase of the output • as well as the magnitude • Theoutput phase of the position sensor is compared with theexcitation phase and it can be: • In or out of phase with theexcitation, depending upon which half of the coil the center ofthe armature is in Dr. ir.

  28. Principle of a Resolver Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  29. Resolver Operation Principle (1) • The rotor of the resolver is exited by an ACreference voltage of 400 Hz typically • As the rotor turns and thestator remains static an angular difference in orientation betweenrotor and stator develops: • va=Kvexitesinωtsinθ • vb=Kvexitesinωt cosθ • The shaft angle θ is obtained by first multiplying theoriginal output signals by cosφ and sinφrespectively Dr. ir. W. Jongkind AE4-S02 Spacecraft Mechatronics Displacement Sensors

  31. Resolver Operation Principle (2) • Kvsinωtsinθcosφ and Kvsinωt cosθcosφ • Subtractinggives: Kvsinωt sin(θ-φ) • (θ-φ) is the angular error • Demodulated gives: A sin(θ-φ) • Signalto a phase sensitive detectorfollowed by an integrator and a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) • Detection of angle θ is based on nulling the error angle (θ-φ) Dr. ir.
