Excellence in Linear and Angular Displacement
and Linear Velocity Transducers

Series 430

0.3” O.D. AC LVDTs

  • Ranges from ±0.010″ to 1.0″
  • 0.3” Outer Diameter
  • Non-linearity <±0.25%
  • Carbon Steel Construction
  • Lightweight Core Assembly
  • Low Temperature Coefficient

The Series 0430, 0.3” O.D. miniature AC LVDTs offer precision linear displacement measurements for applications with strokes from +/-0.01″ to +/-1.0″. The small size of these transducers make them ideal for weight critical applications and placement in tight spaces. The core is light enough to be used in systems with low driving forces or high accelerations without adversely affecting the system performance.

Schematic

The core is constructed from a soft, high permeability iron-nickel alloy. Non-magnetic stainless steel is used as the extension rod material. Core assemblies are sized for use over the maximum working range of the LVDT. The core is drilled at both ends with #72, shown above. Option 0, core only, should be used in applications when a separate extension rod is desirable. Option 1, core assembly, has a #4-40 thread screw brazed to the extension rod which is brazed to the appropriate core. 

Series 430 Modified for Use in High Pressure Environments

The high pressure version of the Series 430 is suitable for operation in nonconductive and noncorrosive fluids or gasses at pressures up to 5,000 P.S.I. The vented housing eliminates pressure differentials between the environment and the transducer’s interior, allowing rapid and extreme pressure changes without damage or degradation in performance. Refer to the table on the previous page for core options.

Note: All electrical and physical specifications are the same as the standard Series 430 LVDTs.
