LVDT signal conditioner improves sensor performance over large temperature swings

June 30, 2021 By Redding Traiger

NewTek Sensor Solutions introduces a new series of Difference/Sum LVDT Signal Conditioners that improve a sensor’s performance during large temperature variations. By measuring the difference of the output over the sum (S1-S2)/(S1+S2), the NTC-6000-DS Quick-Cal LVDT Signal Conditioner compensates for changes in resistance in copper windings due to temperature fluctuations. As a result, the Ratiometric […]
