Displacement sensor
Sensor Holder for Stirling Engine G
•
Attach the holder for the sensor to the base plate
of the Stirling engine.
•
Fit the relative pressure sensor to the bottom of
the sensor holder and the displacement sensor
at the top with the printed sides of the sensors
both facing upwards.
•
Connect the nozzle marked "+" on the relative
pressure sensor to the nozzle on the working cyl-
inder of the Stirling engine by means of the hose
included with the sensor holder (U11372) (see
Fig. 4).

Screw the cap nut attached to the string (sup-
plied with the sensor holder) onto the thread of
the working piston, thread the string around the
displacement sensor pulley and attach a coil
spring to the threaded rod (a detailed descrip-
