Excellence in Linear and Angular Displacement
and Linear Velocity Transducers

Series 200

Short Stroke DC LVDTs

  • Ranges from ±0.05” to 0.20”
  • High Sensitivity
  • Non-linearity < 0.5%, 0.3%
  • Stainless Steel Construction

The Series 200 DC-DC LVDTs are precision Linear Variable Differential Transformers packaged with a solid state oscillator and a phase sensitive demodulator. The transducer is designed to work with DC voltages, and has excellent linearity, infinite resolution, and high sensitivity. Input and output circuits are electrically isolated from each other and from the coil assembly housing, making them usable directly in floating or ground return systems. DC indicators, recorders, and control systems can usually be driven directly by the large DC output. The core, when displaced axially within the coil assembly, produces a voltage change in the output directly proportional to the displacement.

Notes:

  1. Polarity of excitation must be observed for proper function. Reversal will not damage the unit.
  2. Load Impedance of 50 KOhms minimum required for proper operation.
  3. Output polarity will be positive on one side of null, negative on the other side of null.
  4. Blue lead is more positive with respect to the Green lead when the core is moved toward the lead end.

* Model numbers ending with a “_” have multiple core options. All standard units will end with a 0 indicating a core assembly. This core assembly consists of a core brazed to an extension rod that terminates in 1-72 UNF-2A threads. If an option is not selected, option 0 will be provided. Option 1 indicates a core assembly with a smaller core. Core options 2 and 3 provide a threaded core only. A separate extension rod can be used to connect the core to the moving object.
