Offshore LVDT Linear Position Sensors
Macro Sensors Offshore LVDT Linear Position Sensors provide measurement from micro inches to two feet with repeatability and precision. Macro Sensors Offshore LVDT Linear Position Sensors are built to operate for at least twenty years, even if the sensor is fully exposed to seawater. Because the cost associated with replacing underwater hardware is extremely high, […]
New Long Stroke Position Sensor for Harsh Environments uses LVDTs
Control Products Inc.’s long stroke linear position sensors are built for use in harsh environments including hydraulics, power plants, automation, oil and gas, deep sea applications, and more. To avoid problems that can occur with rod-type designs that use magnetostrictive sensors, the SL Series Sensors take advantage of Macro Sensors Series CD LVDTs. The SL […]
LVDT Position Sensors Target Elevators
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 […]
Macro Sensors Unveils New Web Site
Pennsauken, NJ – Sensor manufacturer Macro Sensors (www.macrosensors.com) has redesigned its web site to make it easier for design engineers to find LVDT linear position sensors and RVDT rotary position sensors that meet the performance criteria of applications in specific industries. Finding that many web visitors were unsure of what type of sensor that might […]
Linear Sensor Built For Hydraulic Applications
Position feedback devices are commonly implemented in hydraulic applications for monitoring the performance accuracy of actuators and cylinders to improve operational efficiencies. The environment in which the embedded sensor must survive can be problematic. The hydraulic fluid is under high pressures and temperatures and the actuators and cylinders typically live in environments where heavy shock […]
