Abstract  

A novel high-temperature eddy current displacement sensor operating from 20 ℃ to 500 ℃ was introduced. The application of new materials and structure improvement of the sensor probe promised the adaptation of sensor probe to severe temperature variation. The convention of detected displacement to electric signal was completed by frequency modulation circuit and peak detection circuit. The temperature drift, consisting of output sensitivity and bias voltage, was eliminated by a temperature-compensation circuit added in the output stage of the sensor. Experimental results verified that the designed high-temperature eddy current displacement sensor had good output sensitivity and linearity within temperature variation from 20 ℃ to 500 ℃, with effective temperature drift eliminating properties.
