• Ideally Suited for OEM Applications
• 3 Year Warranty

The AML/E standard LVDT displacement transducers can be AC or DC powered and are widely used in OEM
and general purpose applications such as material testing machines, automotive/aerospace test rigs and
actuators, etc.

The AML/E displacement transducers are constructed from stainless steel, sealed to IP55 and can be
supplied in a variety of mechanical configurations including plain core-only, plain core & extension rod,
guided core & extension rod, spring-loaded core & extension rod with ball-end or with guided core &
spherical rod-end bearings.

The AML/E is supplied in a variety of packaging formats, enabling engineers to select quickly and precisely,
the product required for a particular application.

An AC mV/V output is available as standard, with a range of DC voltage signal output options also offered
including 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc and ±2.5Vdc, as well as a 3-wire 4-20mA current output.

The AML/E is supported with a versatile range of instrumentation to enable engineers to implement the
sensor with the minimum of fuss within a system. Supporting instrumentation includes trip amplifiers,
indicators, PC interfaces, rack systems, and more, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
