LVDT Transducers (Linear Variable Differential Transformer)

LVDT transducers (linear variable differential transformer) are sensors that are used to measure the displacement or position of a moving object. These transducers typically consist of a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a moveable core, which is attached to the object being measured. When a voltage is applied to the primary coil, a magnetic field is generated, which causes a current to be induced in the secondary coil. The magnitude and phase of the current in the secondary coil are directly related to the position of the core, and can be used to determine the displacement or position of the object. LVDT transducers are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including mechanical engineering, robotics, and medical devices. These transducers are available in a variety of sizes, accuracy levels, and output types to suit different applications.
