Macro Sensors Radiation Resistant LVDT Linear Position Sensors provide accurate feedback of control valve position within nuclear power generation plants. Constructed of stainless steel, the HSTAR 750 Series of Hermetically Sealed LVDT Linear Position Sensors can be specified to withstand exposure to radiation at 3×107 Rads for 40 years. In nuclear power plants, radiation levels […]
Why Use an AC LVDT versus a DC LVDT Linear Position Sensor?
When initially introduced fifty years ago, all LVDT linear position sensors were AC-operated and required external oscillators, carrier amplifiers, demodulators and filers to operate. The introduction of high-density microelectronics enabled the incorporation of signal conditioning and processing functions inside the LVDT housing rather than requiring an external box. The DC-operated LVDT maintains all the desirable […]
