In elevator applications, Macro Sensors Spring Loaded LVDT position sensors measure the spring deflection as a result of the load. The sensors’ springs compress as an elevator is loaded with passengers to ensure that both cars and building floors properly align for each floor. Depending upon the elevator manufacturer, sensors are mounted either under or […]

High Temperature LVDT Position Sensor for Military/Defense Applications
The usual 150C maximum operating temperature won’t cut it in many military and defense applications. For those who need to make position measurements in ranges of ±0.05″ to ±10″ [±1.25 mm to ±250 mm] at operating temperatures up to 400°F (200°C), Macro Sensors HSTAR 750 Series Hermetically Sealed Position Sensors could provide the solution. In […]
Position Sensors Ensure Accuracy of Down Hole Drilling Equipment
US-based manufacturer of LVDT Linear Position Sensors and Rotary Position Sensors and Transducers, Macro Sensors, is now serving the petroleum industry with LVDT-based linear position sensors that are used for position feedback control of down hole drilling equipment such as bore scopes that measure the ID of the drilled hole. The LVDT linear position sensors […]
Trans-Tek AC-AC LVDT
Trans-Tek has created a unique category of Linear Displacement Transducer (LVDT), originally developed for a manufacturer of tools for the down-hole oil drilling industry. The products are the result of a collaborative, creative process that produced several iterations for increasingly deeper pressures and higher temperatures. Two models evolved, based on the company’s Series 230. However, […]
