Custom, Rugged, Reliable LVDT Sensors
Description
As electronification and digitization continue to grow within Industry 4.0, reliable position sensors are critical in meeting the harsh demands of industrial hydraulic applications. LVDT position sensors offer standard and custom solutions based on hydraulic application requirements of ICT off-highway equipment and industrial machine tools.
Optimized for hydraulic valves and actuators, LVDT position sensors are highly accurate, reliable, compact, and adaptable. The LVDT position sensor accuracy can measure spool position within one-thousandth of an inch and infinite resolution. Coupled with the fast dynamic response, these sensors enable better system controls and precise measurement for demanding applications and improve operating efficiency.
Friction-free operation enables reliable sensor life and repeatability, allowing hydraulic LVDTs to be used in demanding, high-cycle applications. These position sensors are hermetically sealed and can be mounted inside valves, capable of withstanding high pressure (up to 10,000 psi) and harsh exposure such as hydraulic fluid.
TE's hydraulic LVDT compact designs can fit in restricted spaces and maximize stroke length in a given area. With stroke lengths as low as +0.005 in., these LVDTs can be adapted to work in select valve applications that currently do not use LVDTs due to space constraints.
