ABSTRACT:
An inductive displacement transducer is described in which the magnitude of the phase difference between A.C. current and voltage in a coil is dependent upon the axial displacement of a monitored object. The phase difference depends upon the axial position relative to the coil of a short-circuit turn which moves with the monitored object. A magnetic flux concentrator, which may be combined with the short circuit turn, enhances the flux linkage between the short-circuit turn and the coil. In order to sense the height of a vehicle suspension strut, the coil is mounted on a plastics dirt shield, the short-circuit turn is provided by a sleeve plated with an electrically conductive metal and secured to the strut cylinder. Various circuits are described for monitoring the height signals produced by the different suspension struts of a vehicle.
