Long-stroke transducers are easy to apply

The DCTH series of long-stroke transducers offer a simple answer for displacement measurement.

Available from RDP Electronics, the DCTH series of long-stroke transducers offer a simple answer for displacement measurement.

With linear ranges from 25 to 940mm, the DCTH can be ordered with a choice of free, captive-guided and spring-activated armature types.

Because high quality signal conditioning electronics are fully integrated into each transducer, they provide an easy-to-apply device that can be operated from either a single of dual supply from 20 to 40V DC with +/-5 or 0-10V output, or with a 4-20mA output option.

Suitable for measurement where there may be many millions of cycles or very high-speed movement, the DCTH series are extremely robust.

Using the LVDT principle they readily suit applications where long-term reliability and continuing accuracy of measurement is important.

The method is not only well suited to "fit-and-forget" situations, but due to the absolute nature of the output is particularly appropriate for use in closed loop systems.

Where information needs to be transmitted, noise-free over long distances, then RDP's long stroke linear displacement transducers can be very cost effective.
