Displacement transducers are very important to us. It basically works on the principle of mutual induction process. The basic function is conversion of non-electrical energy into electrical energy. It works on the basic function of external force or displacement on which the induction is charged by the movement of coils in the clockwise and the anti clock wise direction through which the current is generated. Linear displacement transducers work by giving out electrical impulses. However it has various applicable uses and also has a number of advantages and disadvantages.

The displacement transducers are applicable in a number of ways such as it is used to measure displacement ranging from fraction millimeter to centimeter. It also acts as a secondary transducer. It can also be used for measuring force, weight and pressure. However apart from this it comes up with a lot of advantages and disadvantages. It has infinite resolution, high output and also high sensitivity. Displacement transducers have less friction, ruggedness and most importantly low power consumption. In case of disadvantages it is greatly affected by temperature changes. It requires a shielding since it is sensitive to magnetic field and most disadvantage it requires a high displacement for generating a high voltage.
