MACRO CD 375
Overview
Macro Sensors’ LVDT CD 375 Series of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) diameter
AC-operated LVDTs are small size contactless linear position sensors
for both OEM and end user applications. They are available in full scale
measuring ranges from ±0.025 inch (±0.63 mm) to ±1.0 inches (±25
mm). The low mass of their cores makes these miniature LVDTs well
suited for high response dynamic measurements. CD 375 Series
sensors feature the high resolution, excellent repeatability, and low
hysteresis associated with LVDT technology, as well as high sensitivity
consistent with good linearity. The maximum linearity error for a CD
375 sensor is ±0.25% of full range output, using a statistically best-fit
straight line derived by the least squares method.
The proven reliability of CD 375 Series LVDTs is a direct result of
manufacturing processes and assembly techniques developed and
optimized by Macro Sensors personnel over many years of making
LVDTs. Their environmental robustness stems from the materials of
their construction, such as glass-filled polymer coil forms for thermal
stability and stainless steel housings that act as magnetic shields to
reduce the effects of any external AC magnetic fields. Their external
sealing meets IEC standard IP-61.
Macro Sensors offers several standard options that permit a user to
customize CD 375 LVDTs, including Teflon® bore liners and metric
threaded cores. In addition to these standard options, Macro Sensors
can design and produce special CD 375 LVDTs, including units with
different lead wire exit points and connectors; vented units for operation
in pressurized fluids; units for higher ambient temperatures; and units
constructed of materials resistant to mild nuclear radiation. Contact the
highly experienced Applications Engineers at Macro Sensors for help
with any special requirements.
All CD 375 Series LVDTs will operate properly with any conventional
differential input LVDT signal conditioners, but operation with
ratiometric LVDT signal conditioning circuits is not recommended.
Macro Sensors offers a full line of LVDT signal conditioners that will
deliver optimum performance from any CD 375 Series LVDTs.
