A linear variable differential transformer, or LVDT, is a series of inductors in a hollow cylindrical shaft and a solid cylindrical core. The LVDT produces an electrical output proportional to the position of the core. The LVDT may be used in many different types of measuring devices that need to convert changes in physical position to an electrical output, including LVDT position sensors. The lack of friction between the hollow shaft and the core prolong the life of the LVDT and enable very good resolution. In addition, the small mass of the core allows for good sensitivity in dynamic tests.


Products & Services Related to Linear Position Sensors, LVDT
Cable Extension Linear Position Sensors
Cable extension linear position sensors are used to measure the movement and displacement of objects. A cable or wire is attached to an object, and as the object moves, the transducer produces an electrical signal proportional to the wire's linear extension.
Linear Position Sensors and Switches, Ultrasonic
Linear position sensors and switches, ultrasonic, are used for position and displacement sensing, using ultrasonic technology.
Linear Position Sensors, Capacitive
Capacitive linear position sensors are devices that sense position / displacement using capacitance technology.
Linear Position Sensors, Eddy Current
Eddy current linear position sensors detect the distance from a target by using magnetic fields generated by a reference and sensing coils.
Linear Position Sensors, Fiber Optic
Fiber optic linear position sensors use fiber optic technology to sense position and displacement.
Photoelectric Sensors
Photoelectric sensors use emitters and receivers to detect the presence, absence, or distance of target objects.
Position Sensors, Optical Triangulation
Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves to pinpoint position and displacement.
