Displacement transducers are robust and
reliable
GT gauging displacement transducers are based on the long-term accuracy and reliability of well established and proven LVDT principles.
Research measurements and precision gauging of machined parts rely on accurate, reliable and robust sensors RDP Electronics' range of GT gauging displacement transducers are based on the long-term accuracy and reliability of well established and proven LVDT principles leading to what is possibly the most robust and reliable position sensor available

Absolute rotary position sensing with zero wear
Using RDP's capacitive non-contact measurement technique, the RCDT rotary displacement transducer accurately measures the absolute position of its shaft in relation to its body.
GT transducers are suitable for industrial applications and constructed using external stainless steel components with a flexible rubber gaiter to provide additional environmental protection.
Assisted by the precision, low-friction, linear bearings, the armature is pushed by an internal spring to the outward end-stop position.
An air-push version is also included in the GT range and when a suitable air supply is applied, the armature travels outward from its initial inward full scale position to the outward end stop, or until arrested by the object being measured.
Available with measurement ranges from +/-0.5 to +/-5mm, standard GT gauging transducers are typically available from stock and can be supplied with a choice of cable configurations, full or half bridge and with associated signal conditioning options.
A working demonstration can be viewed on the RDP website. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
