SENSORS & TRANSDUCERS

LVDT-Based Position Sensor Can Operate from PLC's 24V Power Supply

The LVDT (linear-variable-displacement-transducer)-based GHSE 750 series of 24V, spring-loaded position sensors operate from dc inputs at 15 to 24V, spring-loaded position sensors operate from dc inputs at 15 to 24V and generate a precalibrated 0 to 10V-dc output. This output suits the device for most PLCs (programmable-logic controllers), digital indicators, ADCs, computer-based data processors, and QC data-collection systems. Ranging in size from 2.5 to 100 mm with a 19-mm-diameter sensor, the stainless-steel, hermetically sealed device provides long service life. Features include a 0.25% maximum-linearity error of full-scale output, coil windings sealed to IEC standard IP-68, and electrical termination through a glass-sealed axial connector. Units can operate from a PLC's 24V power supply. The GHSE 750 series costs $536.
