Solartron Metrology LVDT

Solartron S Series Displacement Transducers

Solartron S Series displacement sensors feature a stainless steel body and IP67
sealing coupled with polymer bearings and 6 mm diameter carriers. The transducers keep working accurately and reliably even in wet and corrosive environments.

Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT)

These devices comprise a movable nickel iron core and three coils - one for energisation and two for pick-up. They need to be driven by a sine wave to produce an output amplitude and phase directly proportional to the position of the core with respect to the pick-up coils. A phase sensitive detector is required to demodulate the output signal. The main advantages of LVDTs are;
