In-depth Tutorial on Linear Position Sensors (LVDTs)

What is An LVDT?

 The letters LVDT are an acronym for Linear Variable Differential Transformer, a common type of electromechanical transducer that can convert the rectilinear motion of an object to which it is coupled mechanically into a corresponding electrical signal. LVDT linear position sensors are readily available that can measure movements as small as a few millionths of an inch up to several inches, but are also capable of measuring positions up to ±20 inches (±0.5 m).

The transformer's internal structure consists of a primary winding centered between a pair of identically wound secondary windings, symmetrically spaced about the primary. The coils are wound on a one-piece hollow form of thermally stable glass reinforced polymer, encapsulated against moisture, wrapped in a high permeability magnetic shield, and then secured in a cylindrical stainless steel housing. This coil assembly is usually the stationary element of the position sensor.

The moving element of an LVDT is a separate tubular armature of magnetically permeable material called the core, which is free to move axially within the coil's hollow bore, and mechanically coupled to the object whose position is being measured. This bore is typically large enough to provide substantial radial clearance between the core and bore, with no physical contact between it and the coil.

In operation, the LVDT's primary winding is energized by alternating current of appropriate amplitude and frequency, known as the primary excitation. The LVDT's electrical output signal is the differential AC voltage between the two secondary windings, which varies with the axial position of the core within the LVDT coil. Usually this AC output voltage is converted by suitable electronic circuitry to high level DC voltage or current that is more convenient to use.

tire information hope you can help?

i have a 2009 mitsubishi outlander with all season tires with low pressure sensors,and i want to change them to steel wheels wit winter tires without pressure sensors ,will this damage the car or make a difference.

Why is a question about an SUV in the motorcycle section?

Pentax 645D With 40MP Sensor
There have been a few teasers about an upcoming Pentax DSLR which has now been made official. The Pentax 645D medium format DSLR comes with a 40 megapixel sensor lens that has been developed by Kodak as well as an AFOX IX+ autofocus system with 11 sensor points. Additionally, it includes a large [...]
