Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) and rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT) is an electrical transformer type sensor used to measure the linear displacement and angular displacement respectively. The circuit diagram and working principle is similar to each other but differentiated in terms of core and shaft movements inside the module. These sensors are also called as electromechanical transducer due to the fact that it yields variable alternating current (AC) output … [Read more...]
RVDT : Rotary Variable Differential Transformer
RVDT full form is a Rotary Variable Differential Transformer, which is used to measure the angular displacement of the test circuit. It plays a significant role in the field of aircraft (to measure the aircraft throttle and flap control systems), aerospace, medical field to measure or vary the angular displacement and stabilize the system. The operation principle is similar to that of LVDT, wherein the cam-shaped core rotates between the winding with the help of shaft. In this article, a brief … [Read more...]
LVDT : Linear Variable Displacement Transformer
Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a sensor module implemented to transform the input vibrations or mechanical motion into variable electric signals, electrical current, and voltage. Nowadays, with an increased number of sensor devices that are ready to accept the input signal and convert into the required form of energy, several factors such as precision, utilization at its utmost level, and percentage of accuracy play a crucial part in selection procedures. This article … [Read more...]
