About Digital Displacement Sensor (Panasonic)
Contact-Type Digital Displacement Sensor-HG-S Sensor that diagnoses its own state. Featuring a self-monitoring function! NEW Self-monitoring function released by using the digital displacement sensor communication unit SC-HG1 in Plain bearings with 2-point support structure A new structure supports the spindle with upper and lower plain bearings to significantly increase rigidity. Unlike ball bearings, these bearings efficiently disperse lateral loads on the spindle, significantly reducing the risk of breakage. Metal guide whirl-stop structure Metal guide whirl-stop structure Spindle whirl-stop is accomplished by means of a metal guide requiring a several level assembly precision. Unlike a plastic guide, the risk of measurement error and glass scale breakage caused by deformation, wear, and other deterioration is significantly reduced.
