Hi Guobao Shen,


I suggest a different technology to be used for linear displacement 
sensing: an optical linear encoders:
https://www.celeramotion.com/microe/products/linear-encoders/compact/veratus-series-vi/

these provide resolutions down to 20 nm and up to 30 m measuring lengths.


Regards,
Oleg Makarov
