    An LVDT consists of a coil structure shaped into a cylinder with one primary coil and two secondary coils. A magnetic core slides through the coils and generates a unique voltage based on the number of coils affected. This allows the LVDT to easily and cheaply measure deflections from 12 inches to millimeters. LVDTs are rugged, have an expected life of over 2 million hours, and can operate in adverse conditions, but their measurement range is limited to around 12 inches without extensions. They are commonly used to measure displacements, deflections, thickness changes, fluid levels, and velocity/acceleration.

    Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT)

    Will Bane CEE 398

    Outline
    Introduction Design Benefits and Limitations Applications

    Introduction
    Cheap, easy to use way of measuring deflection Measure deflections from 12 in. to millimeters

    Description

    An LVDT consists of a coil structure shaped into a cylinder and a magnetic core Coil structure consists of one primary core and two secondary cores

    Description

    When core slides through transformer, a certain number of coils are affected This generates a unique voltage

    Interpretation

    Voltage can be interpreted using formula stated above V = Voltage and N = Number of coils

    Mounting
    Core attached to a stationary object

    E.g. Testing frame


    E.g. Mid-span of girder

    Rod attached to the object to be displacing

    Object moves and thus changes the position of rod in core

    Benefits
    Easy way to measure deflection Very rugged piece of equipment

    Ideally a frictionless surface Expected life is 2,000,000 hours Can be used in adverse environmental conditions $50 to $1600

    Relatively cheap

    Limitation
    The range of measurement is limited

    ~12 in. For longer stroke, a cable extension transducer is preferable ~ 1700 in.

    Rod attached to magnetic core can be bent

    Exact distance is no longer known

    Requires alignment to be correct

    Applications
    Displacements

    extensometers, temperature transducers, butterfly valve control, servo valve displacement sensing

    Deflections Measurements of thickness changes Fluid level (float attached to rod) Velocity and acceleration
