LVDTs are drop-in alternatives
The PR 750 Series of general purpose LVDT position sensors are reliable and cost effective solutions for many position measurement applications.
Conditioner makes best use of space and power
The LVC-2402 is novel single-channel LVDT signal conditioner ideal for use in automation applications with PLCs and mini-PLCs.
Electronics and coil windings are hermetically sealed against hostile environments to IEC standard IP-68.
The GHSAR offers a through-bore design that allows for air purging of the sensors' bearings to remove any potential contaminants.
Electrical termination is made through a radially-mounted sealed connector that shortens the installed length of the LVDTs for use in locations with space restrictions.
A detachable mating connector is supplied with every unit for easy replacement of damaged cables.
These spring-loaded position sensors consist of a spring-laded shaft running in a precision sleeve bearing and connected to the LVDT core.
Use of a precision sleeve bearing results in excellent measurement repeatability of 0.000025 inches or better and maximum linearity error of 0.25 per cent of full range output.
Units are available in standard measurement ranges of 0.100" to 2.00" GHSAR 750 units operate from 3.0 Vrms (nominal) and can be connected to any standard LVDT signal conditioner, then passed to a gaging column display, digital recorder or computer-based data acquisition system.
GHSDR 750 units feature built-in electronics operating from a 15V DC input and provide a pre-calibrated 0 to 10 V DC output that works in conjunction with many PLCs, digital indicators, A/D converters, computer-based data processors and QC data collection systems.
Pricing for the GHSAR/GHSDR 750 series begins at $350.00.
