LINEAR TRANSDUCER
Experts in standard and custom linear transducer design

There is a wide array of position sensors available in the market today. Each type of sensor has a specific application. One of the most commonly used position sensor is a Linear Variable Differential Transformer, also called linear transducer.

What is a Linear Transducer?

The working principle of a linear transducer is to convert an objects linear motion into electrical signals. This provides the machine with workable data that is used in its overall function. Linear position sensors can measure movements of as small or as few as millionths of an inch up to several inches. There are sensors that can also measure up to ±30 inches (±0.762 meter). Linear transducers are characterised by several components which are:

Primary Winding
Secondary Windings
Core (threaded hole on both ends, high permeability nickel-iron core)
Epoxy encapsulation
Stainless steel housing and end caps
High permeability magnetic shell
High density glass-filled Polymer coil form
