These transducers are for displacement / position measurement. They make an accurate position
measurement of the movement of the armature (the sliding part) relative to the body of the displacement
transducer.
This transducer uses the Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) principle which means that it is
probably the most robust and reliable position sensor type available. The strength of the LVDT sensor's
principle is that there is no electrical contact across the transducer position sensing element which for the user
of the sensor means clean data, infinite resolution and a very long life.
Our DC to DC LVDT transducer has all of the benefits of the LVDT sensor principle with the added
convenience of built-in LVDT electronics enabling a dc supply and dc output. As an option we can offer a 420mA 2 wire connection to the transducer on some models.
Our submersible displacement transducers are designed to make measurements whilst submerged in suitable
liquids. Fluids which are non-magnetic can be allowed to flood the armature tube without affecting the
operation of the transducer.
The SS series LVDTs are specially designed for use in sea water and heavy industrial environments with
some corrosive chemicals. These LVDTs are made of welded 316 stainless steel and have a through bore
plus very heavy construction. Therefore, the SS series LVDTs are capable of withstanding the most arduous
industrial applications as well as 10 years seawater submersion at a depth of up to 7546ft.
