AC LVDTs require an external signal conditioner to provide excitation and demodulate the output. DC LVDTs have internal electronics to handle this, providing a standard voltage or current output.
LVDT Transducers (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) Component Intelligence
Precision inductive position sensing for mission-critical industrial feedback.
What are LVDT Transducers (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) components?
LVDTs are electromechanical transducers that convert linear motion into a proportional electrical signal. They are favored for their infinite resolution, friction-free operation, and extreme durability in high-vibration or high-temperature environments.
How to Choose LVDT Transducers (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) Components
Selecting an LVDT requires balancing mechanical constraints with signal conditioning requirements.
Stroke Range
Define the total linear displacement required; ensure the sensor's linear range covers your full mechanical travel.
Signal Conditioning
Decide between AC-operated (requires external oscillator/demodulator) or DC-integrated (built-in electronics) units.
Environmental Rating
Check IP ratings and material compatibility for exposure to hydraulic fluids, high pressure, or extreme temperatures.
Linearity & Accuracy
Verify the linearity error percentage to ensure the output signal meets your system's precision requirements.
Mounting Configuration
Select between spring-loaded, guided, or unguided core designs based on your mechanical linkage.
