  • How to Choose the Temperature for my LVDT Sensor
    The temperature selection details the upper and lower operating temperature for our range of LVDT sensors. The operating temperature range of most of our LVDTs is suitable for most industrial environments.
  • Ratiometric Measurements in the Context of LVDT-sensor Signal Conditioning
    Ratiometricity is a common approach for measuring analog-sensor signals for the purpose of conditioning and standardizing the signal for proper operation with an industrial control system. In the context of linear-variable differential-transformer (LVDT) signal conditioning, ratiometric measurement
  • How to Choose the Environment for my LVDT Sensor
    RDP LVDT transducers are very robust and reliable but it is important to select the correct LVDT for your environment.
  • How to Choose the Output for my LVDT Sensor
    An LVDT is a transformer and requires a specific type of signal conditioning amplifier of which there are many in our product range. Having the amplifier remote from the LVDT transducer means that the LVDT is not limited by the temperature constraints of the electronics.
  • How to Choose the Mechanical Type for my LVDT sensor
    The armature assembly (the moving part) is a completely separate component from the body of the LVDT and when correctly installed are the most robust and reliable. These are the best types to use if you can because there is not physical contact between the armature and body but you must not touch
  • How Robust is an LVDT
    All RDP transducers are housed in a robust stainless steel housing which provides both mechanical protection for the LVDT sensor as well as shielding the internal coils and electronics from external electromagnetic interference. The housing also serves to contain and concentrate the magnetic fields
  • How Accurate is an LVDT
    Accuracy in the context of this definition is the sum of the errors due to Hysteresis, Repeatability and Linearity. Hysteresis is a measure of the ability of a sensor to return to a starting value after a full scale value is applied then removed. For an unguided LVDT this is zero, there is no error
  • LVDT Position Sensors For Use With Pneumatic Cylinders
    There are two general applications to use LVDTs with pneumatic cylinders described here:
