The Sensor Connection has expanded its sensor product offering by adding a line of ILPS-19 Series Inductive Linear Position Sensors using LVIT Technology; contactless devices designed for factory automation and a variety of industrial or commercial applications such as motor sport vehicles, automotive testing, solar cell positioners, wind turbine prop pitch and brake position, and […]
LVDT
Spring-loaded LVIT linear position sensors are inexpensive, compact
H.G. Schaevitz LLC Alliance Sensors has introduced its GHS-19 series of spring-loaded LVIT (Linear Variable Inductive Transducer) gaging sensors. They are contactless devices designed for dimensional gaging and position measurements in factory automation and in various industrial and commercial applications such as automotive testing, mil/aero test stands, robotic arms, and packaging equipment, where the sensing element […]
Alliance Sensors Group’s line of industrial LVDTs
Alliance Sensors Group has expanded its line of industrial LVDTs with the addition of the LA-21-A series. The LA-21-A series AC LVDTs offers the robust designs for which Alliance Sensors Group is known in typical industrial packages, with full ranges from 3 (75 mm) to 15-in. (375 mm). They are supplied in a zinc-plated-steel 0.805-in. […]
S1A used to solve multi-channel LVDT measurement system
H. G. Schaevitz LLC, Alliance Sensors Group has solved the age old problem of cross talk between sensors even if the master signal conditioner fails. When LVDT signal cables are bundled together or laid close to each other in a wire trough, even for short distances, the result can be a mutual interference phenomenon called […]
Alliance Sensors Group: The Name in LVDT Signal Conditioning
Alliance Sensors Group has developed into “The Name in LVDT Signal Conditioning” due to the constant improvements and advancements made to its line of LVDT signal conditioners. The S1A and SC-100 DIN-rail-mounted, push-button-calibrated LVDT signal conditioners were developed by listening to customers and LVDT manufacturers’ comments and wish list. This has allowed Alliance Sensors Group […]
Mounting Kit Simplifies Position Sensor Replacement
Replacing a malfunctioning sensor can be a tricky and time consuming task, especially if the mechanical mounting is unique. For sensors that need replacement on GE steam turbines, Alliance Sensors Group has addressed the problem with a drop-in mounting for their PGHD series LVDTs. While the sensors are specifically designed and engineered for several applications […]
Measure Position in Hazardous Locations
Some rather common applications require a hazardous location and even an intrinsically safe operation certification. The CSA Group provides this for products used in North American and around the world. With this rating, TE Connectivity’s HLIR 750 series intrinsically safe, 4-20 mA LVDT position sensors can be used for contact-less measurements in applications in gas […]
Multi-channel LVDT measurement system susceptibly
When LVDT signal cables are bundled together or laid close to each other in a wire trough, even for short distances, the result can be a mutual interference phenomenon called heterodyning or “beating”. This effect is created when the frequencies of the oscillator in the individual signal conditioner driving the excitation signal to each LVDT […]
Position Sensing in the Deep Blue Sea
Sensing position in a deep sea environment requires withstanding salt water and high pressures. Those are two of the design goals for Macro Sensors SSB/SSBR series LVDTs. The submersible position transmitters have CANopen interface compliant to CiA 443 for subsea instruments. In addition to surviving salt water, the units can handle external pressures up to […]
