The phrase "a displacement sensor" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a device that measures the distance or change in position of an object.
Example: "The engineer installed a displacement sensor to monitor the movement of the machinery."
Alternatives: "a position sensor" or "a distance sensor."
The displacement of the hammer is detected by a displacement sensor.
This apparatus was fully instrumented with pressure transducers, an accelerometer and a displacement sensor.
A displacement sensor is placed such that the actuator and the sensor are collocated.
To reject the residual vibrations, the probe tracks the sample by using a displacement sensor for feedback control.
Sensitivity and resolution data on a practical case-study of a displacement sensor are constant and their values are satisfactory.
The system implements a piezoresistive cantilever as a force sensor and the built-in capacitive sensor of a piezoelectric actuator as a displacement sensor, such that sample indentation depth can be directly calculated from the force and displacement signals.
Using a data acquisition board with LabVIEW software, a control circuit, a laser displacement sensor, a force sensor, and a spring, an experimental rig is set up.
The nano probe mainly consisted of three parts: a capacitive displacement sensor, a porous type air slide and a contact probe part with various tip radiuses.
A digital multimeter, a programmable resistance selector, an arbitrary waveform generator, a shaker table, an accelerometer and a laser displacement sensor are used to control and acquire data in terms of harvested energy as a function of vibration frequency and load resistance.
This study describes the innovative design of a digital measurement system based on a laser displacement sensor (LDS) as a vibrometer which is capable to measure a dynamic displacement response dependence on a stimulated vibration.
A superconducting displacement sensor with a 10-kg test mass cooled to 2 K will have an intrinsic instrument noise of 10−16 m Hz−1/2.
