General Applications
Research & Development
Remote sensing, indicating, recording and/or processing of physical displacements, deflection or movement in engineering structures, loaded beams and members, concrete, rock, soil. Measurement of volumetric displacement of fluids, linear displacement of specimens under load, general laboratory applications.
Industry & Commercial
Remote sensing, indicating, recording, and control of automatic machine systems, robots, weighing and batching systems, machine tools, instruments and mechanisms, general industrial applications. 
Displacement sensors being used in testing an
aircraft engine case.
Examples of Specific
Applications
Aerospace
Airframe deflection testing and analysis (static and dynamic), missile stage separation sensing, axis position feedback (flight simulation).
Industrial
Valve actuator testing, position measurement (machine tools), remote sensing (process control lines), feedback loop sensing (robotic/automatic machine systems), direct measurements (roll forming machines).
Civil Engineering
Seismic monitoring, deflection testing (steel, wood, concrete structures), soil consolidation testing, monitoring of compression for triaxial testing, creep monitoring in structures (above and below ground).
Automotive
Gaging of body fabrications, test run monitoring (engine and suspension development).
