New Digital LVDT Stroke Transducer From Magnet Schultz

Designed with 21st century applications in mind, Magnet Schultz has developed the new linear system by using a micro-controller to combine the advantages of digital and analogue evaluation. The new linear transducer not only matches existing analogue systems without adaptation but also provides superior precision in relation to linearity deviation and temperature drift.

In addition to providing a high-resolution analogue output signal, the transducer process identifies and then changes the measurable variant, which is then processed and adjusted to the same speed as an analogue sensor to within a limited frequency of 500Hz.

The flexibility of the digital LVDT stroke transducer means that Magnet Schultz can adapt the system to meet customers’ specific requirements changing the voltage, current outputs and digital interface as required.

The linear system can be either flanged to a solenoid or any other object to be measured. The core, which can be moved within the coils, has to be connected to the object to be measured via the threaded pin. In this way, customers obtain a complete hi-tech system to evaluate voltage and provide a highly defined output signal.

The new linear stroke transducer is a further innovation from Magnet Schultz, a leading solenoid specialist since 1912. Working closely with its parent company in Germany and five manufacturing plants throughout Europe and the United States, Magnet Schultz Ltd has developed a reputation for technical know-how and expertise. Using solenoid technology, the company focuses on providing top quality engineering solutions for a spectrum of applications. It aims to provide the highest possible level of technical performance, whether supplying a bare solenoid or manufacturing a complex assembly.
