LVDT

Description

The Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) displacement transducer accurately measures the movement between the spring-loaded sliding armature and the exterior body. These rugged and self-contained units are ideal for recording displacements on structural members due to live loads and temperature variations.

Features

  • Bridge deflection
  • Expansion joint movement
  • Concrete crack monitoring
  • Moveable structure testing
  • Tainter gate differential movement
  • Lift bridge movement
  • Laboratory testing

APPLICATIONS

  • 6 to 18 Vdc input range
  • Stainless steel construction
  • Spring return armature
  • High cycle life
  • High accuracy
  • < 0.0001” resolution
