Magnetostrictive Position Transducers in Medical Applications
increments can be as fine as the electronic interface will support. A typical magnetostrictive linear position transducer is shown in figure 1. It comprises an electronics head, a sensing rod, and a position magnet. The sensing rod is normally stationary, and the position magnet is attached

of these actuators is the feedback system. A number of different feedback systems, both mechanical and electrical, are used, depending on the accuracy and durability required. One method for accurately sensing cylinder rod position is with a linear displacement transducer. In one widely used system

Measuring liquid levels with LVDTs
. The sensing of lowdensity liquids or of small level changes may require special, lowpressure transducers that are expensive and hard to find. The use of a float attached to a nearly friction-free linear-variable-displacement transducer (LVDT) offers a reasonable replacement. LVDTs can measure liquid-level
