LVDT

LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) sensors are non-contact position sensors used to measure the position and/or displacement of an object in a linear motion. They are used in various industrial applications such as machine tools, robotics, and control systems. LVDT sensors are composed of three primary components: a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a core. The primary coil is excited by an AC source, which produces an alternating magnetic field. This field induces a voltage in the secondary coil which is proportional to the displacement of the core. The output voltage of the LVDT is then fed into an amplifier which converts it into an analog or digital signal.
