A new temperature compensation technique by using eddy-current effect is presented to satisfy the special requirement at high temperature up to 550℃. The experiment shows that the temperature compensation technique leads to good temperature stability for the sensors. The variation of the sensitivity as well as the temperature drift of the sensor with temperature compensation technique is only about 7.4% and 90-350 mV at 550 ℃ compared with that at room temperature, and that of the sensor without temperature compensation technique is about 31.2% and 2-3 V at 550 ℃ compared with that at room temperature. A new dynamic calibration method for the eddy-current displacement sensor is presented, which is very easy to be realized especially in high frequency and at high temperatures. The high temperature displacement sensors developed are successfully used at temperature up to 550 ℃ in a magnetic bearing system for more than 100 h.展开更多

In order to measure the distance between the sharp rail and the basic rail in a switch system, a wide-range, high-precision fiber Bragg grating(FBG) displacement sensor was designed. Because the distance between the sharp and basic rails is always greater than 14 cm, the measurement range width and accuracy of the proposed sensor system are ensured through the use of a long spring and a beam of constant strength. A differential compensation method is used to eliminate temperature effects. Test results show that the resolution of the proposed sensor is 0.040 mm and the measuring range is 0—170 mm. A field test was also carried out to evaluate the performance of the sensors.展开更多

The proposed compensation method is based on two light receiving channels with characteristic displacement sensitivities. The sensitivity characteristic for each channel is achieved by using fibers with different numerical apertures. The ratio of the intensity values of the two receiving channels is a function of the object displacement and fairly independent from the reflectivity of the measured object. The sensor is characterized by a well-defined measurement spot. By use of a focus lens mounted onto the fiber optics probe head, the object displacement range can be extended. The sensor is suitable for measurements with changing object reflectivity and demanding distance ranges.展开更多

The sensor is called the contact-type linear encoder-like capacitive displacement sensor (CLECDiS), is a nano-meter-resolution sensor with a wide dynamic range. However, height differences due to patterned electrodes may cause a variety of problems or performance degradation. In devices of two glass wafer surfaces with patterned structures assembled face-to-face and in sliding contact, the heights of the patterns crucially affect their performance and practicality, so it should be planarized for reducing the problem. A number of techniques for planarizing glass wafer surfaces with patterned chrome electrodes were evaluated and the following three were selected as adequate: lift-off, etch-back, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The fabricated samples showed that CMP provided the best planarization. CMP was successfully employed to produce CLECDiS with improved signal reliability due to reduced collisions between electrodes.展开更多

The sensitivity characteristic for each channel is achieved by using fibers with different numerical apertures. The ratio of the intensity values of the two receiving channels is a function of the object displacement and fairly independent from the reflectivity of the measured object. The sensor is characterized by a well-defined measurement spot. By use of a focus lens mounted onto the fiber optics probe head, the object displacement range can be extended. The sensor is suitable for measurements with changing object reflectivity and demanding distance ranges.
文摘This study presents an improvement of high dynamic range contact-type capacitive displacement sensor by applying planarization. The sensor is called the contact-type linear encoder-like capacitive displacement sensor (CLECDiS), is a nano-meter-resolution sensor with a wide dynamic range. However, height differences due to patterned electrodes may cause a variety of problems or performance degradation. In devices of two glass wafer surfaces with patterned structures assembled face-to-face and in sliding contact, the heights of the patterns crucially affect their performance and practicality, so it should be planarized for reducing the problem. A number of techniques for planarizing glass wafer surfaces with patterned chrome electrodes were evaluated and the following three were selected as adequate: lift-off, etch-back, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The fabricated samples showed that CMP provided the best planarization. CMP was successfully employed to produce CLECDiS with improved signal reliability due to reduced collisions between electrodes.

文摘This paper introduces the application of a slant lens fiber in a reflective fiber optical displacement sensor, namely the receiving fiber use the slant lens fiber. Based on the characteristic formula expression of the intensity modulation of planar single fiber pair, a mathematic model of single fiber fair intensity modulation is established. After simulation experiment, the influence of fiber spacing, fiber core diameter and fiber numerical aperture on the modulation characteristics of the sensor is summarized.

文摘Optical fibre sensor has the advantages of small size,light weight,anti⁃electromagnetic interference,and high measurement accuracy,which has important applications in research and industrial production.To design an optical fibre displacement sensor(OFBDS)with simple structure and high measurement accuracy,the unified model of the commonly used OFBDS structures was proposed and the feasibility of the intensity⁃modulation of multi⁃structural optical fibre bundles was analysed based on the arrangement characteristics of the fibre bundle end⁃face.The intensity⁃modulation characteristic of different fibre bundles was analysed,and the single coil coaxial fibre bundle was chosen as the fibre probe in this study.The sensor hardware system was designed.Lastly,the calibration experiment,temperature interference experiment,changes of measured plane surface area,and the dynamic experiment were conducted.Results showed that the sensor linear measurement range was about 3 mm,and the sensor system had excellent static and dynamic characteristics.
