LVDT Signal Conditioning

Carrier Amplifier conditioning for Inductive Displacement Sensors

Applications include hydraulics, machine tools, material testing, semiconductor equipment, aerospcae, miltary vehicles

A Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT) measures the position and displacement using the relative position of two inductors. These devices each have a fixed point and a moving part that is attached to the test point, both points carry one or more inductors.

WHAT IS LVDT SIGNAL CONDITIONING?

WHAT FYLDE PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE?

For LVDT devices with built in electronics and therefore only requiring a steady DC voltage to energise them, a suitable solution is usually the FE-366-TA from the Micro Analog 2 range.
Some LVDT devices do not have built in electronics and have to be energised by a varying AC voltage which couples from the fixed inductor to the moving inductor. Special Carrier Amplifier modules are used to carry out this signal. A Fylde Carrier Amplifier FE-346-CA for this purpose is available in the Micro Analog 2 range.
