Linear distance measurement by non-driven arm

The linear distance measurement apparatus comprises a non-driven, extendable/retractable arm mechanism that is mounted such that an arc movement of the arm describes a linear distance. A rotary sensor mechanism is coupled to the non-driven arm. The sensor measures the arc movement of the arm and tra...

Zusammenfassung:The linear distance measurement apparatus comprises a non-driven, extendable/retractable arm mechanism that is mounted such that an arc movement of the arm describes a linear distance. A rotary sensor mechanism is coupled to the non-driven arm. The sensor measures the arc movement of the arm and translates the arc movement to the linear distance.
