Detailed Description

A linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a type of electrical transformer/transducer used for measuring linear displacement (position). A counterpart to this device used for measuring rotary displacement is called a rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT). The RVDT is like an LVDT in that it measures a positional displacement, however, the displacement, which is still a linear proportional function, is based on rotary instead of linear positional movement. Both deliver signals proportional to the linear displacement of the moveable core. NAI offers five smart function modules that convert these signals to a digital output corresponding to position in a variety of operating parameters. An LVDT/RVDT simulator is used to convert digital positional commands to corresponding AC signals.
