and Instruments
The LD400 Series miniature
DC to DC transducers can
measure displacements up to
±5 mm (±0.20") with very high
accuracy and infinite resolution.
Their free-guided armature
incorporates acetal bearings, which
provide near-frictionless motion
to detect the smallest movement
the associated instrumentation is
capable of identifying.
These transducers use a precision
linear variable differential
transformer as the measuring
source, along with hybrid ICs,
including an oscillator, demodulator,
and filter. Together, they make up
a self-contained unit that accepts
DC input and provides DC output
relative to armature position.
The unit’s high linearity and low
mass of moving parts are ideal for
applications in civil, mechanical,
chemical, and production
engineering.
