Differential Centre Detector

PR5510

Application Examples

The following applications examples are meant as suggestions. PREMA does not guarantee usability and

cannot give application support for the use in specific devices.

OPTICAL BEAM CENTERING

In this application PR5510 detects the position of the laser light beam on the detector.

ANGLE OR VIBRATION DETECTOR

PR5510 can be used to measure the angle of a swivelling mirror. In a similar way, when the mirror picks

up the vibration of a surface, PR5510 can be used to detect vibrations or small displacements. The wide

bandwidth of the detector can measure vibration frequencies of several 100 kHz.

OPTICAL POTENTIOMETER

By the use of a helically slotted disk, PR5510 can be used in optical potentiometers, or for low-resolution

absolute position encoders.
