ACW Submersible LVDT Displacement Transducer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and options for the ACW series of submersible Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) displacement transducers, highlighting their high accuracy, cycle life, and stainless steel construction.
Specifications: The ACW series transducers are available in various models with different measurement ranges from ±12.5mm to ±470mm. Key specifications include linearity error, total weight, armature weight, inward and outward over-travel, and sensitivity. The transducers operate on the LVDT principle, ensuring robust and reliable position sensing with infinite resolution and long life.
Types and Versions: The document describes three versions of the transducers: unguided, captive guided, and spring return. Each version is suited for different applications based on the need for guidance and connection to the moving component.
Cable and Termination Options: Various cable options are available, including end exit solder pins, fully sleeved integral cables, and mineral insulated stainless steel cables. Each option has specific operating temperature ranges and maximum static pressure ratings.
Operating Conditions: The transducers can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 257°F and withstand maximum static pressures up to 3000psi. The excitation supply ranges from 0.5V to 7V rms, with a calibrated supply of 5V rms at 5kHz.
Contact Information: RDP Electrosense provides contact details for further inquiries, emphasizing that specifications may change due to ongoing development.

ACW Submersible LVDT Displacement Transducer-1

DISPLACEMENT ACW Submersible LVDT Displacement Transducer ● ● ● ● ● High accuracy High cycle life Stainless steel Submersible Infinite resolution These transducers are for displacement / position measurement. They make an accurate position measurement of the movement of the armature (the sliding part) relative to the body of the displacement transducer. This transducer uses the Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) principle which means that it is probably the most robust and reliable position sensor type available. The strength of the LVDT sensor's principle is that there is no electrical contact across the transducer position sensing element which for the user of the sensor means clean data, infinite resolution and a very long life. Our submersible displacement transducers are designed to make measurements whilst submerged in suitable liquids. Fluids which are non-magnetic can be allowed to flood the armature tube without affecting the operation of the transducer. This series of displacement transducer is available as either an unguided, captive or spring return version. Unguided version. On our unguided LVDTs the armature assembly is a separate component, to make a measurement the user must guide the armature inside the body without touching the sides. Unguided position measurement transducers are appropriate where external guidance is available and give truly non-contact operation Shown with standard cable assembly, see below for options Total weight

Captive guided version. Our captive guided displacement transducer has bearings to guide the armature inside the measurement sensor. Captive LVDTs are for position measurement applications where guidance may be poor and end bearings may be required. Shown with standard cable assembly, see below for options Total weight Spring return version. Our spring displacement transducer has bearings to guide the armature inside the measurement sensor and a spring which pushes the armature to the fully out position. Spring return LVDTs are appropriate where it is not possible to connect the transducer armature...
