About Panasonic Measurement Sensor GP-X & LM10
Panasonic Sunx GP-X & LM10 Measurement Sensor
GP-X INDUCTIVE (CONTROLLER) The inductive displacement transducers of the GP-X series use eddy current techniques and are particularly noted for their highly accurate measurement at a resolution of 0.02 F.S. with minimal linearity error, a high sampling frequency of 40kHz and low temperature dependence. GP-X sensors are ideally suitable for the highly accurate motion and distance control of metal objects in harsh industrial environments.
