LVDTs Used In Power Generation Plants

From Macro Sensors, A Division of Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies
 

 

When discussing power plants, the common applications for LVDTs and derivative products like LVRTs are measuring valve positions in steam turbines and gas turbines. There are also some applications for quarter-turn rotary valve position. In addition, there are applications within power plants for measuring case or shell expansion and bearing vibration/expansion...
