Applications
An LVDT sensor (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) has various important tasks that make it indispensable in many technical and industrial applications:
- Position measurement:
Measurement of linear displacements or movements. This is done with high precision and reliability, making LVDTs ideal for applications in position monitoring and control. - Strain measurement:
Measurement of strains in materials. They are used in materials testing and research to collect precise data on the deformation and resilience of materials. - Dynamic measurements:
Measurement of fast and high-frequency movements. LVDTs are suitable for dynamic measurements in vibration and oscillation analyses. - Control systems:
LVDTs are used for feedback to monitor and control the exact position of actuators or other mechanical components. - Industrial applications:
CNC machines, robotics and automation technology. They are used for precise positioning and quality control. - Aerospace:
Measuring the movements of control surfaces, landing flaps and other mechanical components. - Medical devices:
Measurement of movements and positions of surgical instruments and other medical equipment. - Research and development:
In research and development, LVDTs are used to carry out precise measurements and analyses in various scientific and technical projects.
LVIT sensors
LVIT sensors (Linear Variable Inductive Transducer) have a continuous coil with a centre tap or two identical coils that are positioned next to each other and connected in series.
The core inside the coil system generates a change in the impedances of both coil halves when it is moved, resulting in a signal that is proportional to the displacement.
Differential throttles are characterised by their cost-effective design, high accuracy classes and very low temperature drift. Due to their design, they can be connected and calibrated quickly and easily with a 3-wire connection.
