linear displacement sensor / DC LVDT / inductive / analog

Small sensor with a diameter of only 8 mm for installation into restricted structures, vibration-proof and wear resistant, internal IN-LINE amplifier or USB interface, for direct measuring of displacement and indirect measuring of convertable mechanical values

FEATURES
Ranges from 0 … 1 mm to 0 ... 25 mm
Non-linearity 0.25 % F.S.
Sensor diameter 8 mm
Vibration and wear free
Output 0 ... 10 V
Optional output 0 ... 5 V, ± 5 V, 4 ... 20 mA, USB
Sensor with or without IN-LINE amplifier

Inductive displacement sensors of this series measure linear displacements and indirectly all mechanical values convertible into displacements by additional equipment (i.e. tension and compression forces, extension, torque, vibration). The sensor body equipped with a connector has an outer diameter of only 8 mm and therefore is especially well suitable for the integration in dimensionally restricted structures.

Typical application fields are displacement and extension measurements on

The cylindrical case made of stainless steel, houses a differential transformer (LVDT). It consists of a primary and two secondary coils with axially moveable core. A displacement of this core changes the magnetic induction of the coils. The INLINE carrier frequency amplifier converts the displacement into a direct proportional electrical DC voltage.
