Measure Hydraulic Valve Position without Pressure-Induced Variations

October 5, 2015 By Randy Frank

Based on the high pressure ranges at which they operate, measuring the position of the hydraulic valve can be challenging. A properly designed linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) sensor can solve this problem. That is exactly what German manufacturer INELTA did. Mounted inside the existing hydraulic valve assemblies, the LVDT’s electromagnetic coupling measures the core […]
