NOTE:
Some of the AC "PSE" Series LVDT's have retained their
"classic" Daytronic model numbers.
These
AC units present the optimum combination of range, accuracy, versatility,
and small size required for general-purpose applications. A SPRING-EXTENDED
ARMATURE and a special linear bearing technique yield virtually
friction-free probe action over a wide temperature range. With
suitable signal conditioning equipment,
they can provide repeatability of well within a micron (0.001 mm).
These
LVDT's are a logical selection when ambient temperature control is
impossible or inconvenient, since small size and AISI-446 stainless-steel
construction normally reduce thermal expansion errors to
insignificance. (Temperature errors attributable to the
transducer-instrument combination amount to less than one microinch per
°F. This is smaller than the errors that inevitably arise—even
in the most well designed fixture systems—from ordinary thermal
expansion and contraction. In general, dimensional measurement with
meaningful precision to 0.0001" or better demands a carefully
controlled temperature environment.)
In
addition to high mechanical strength, all models have fully encapsulated,
magnetically shielded windings for use with ESI or other carrier amplifier
equipment. (Differential-inductance windings are also available, for
use with equipment with half-bridge input circuitry.)
They
can be mounted in any position, and are unaffected by being clamped into
the steel housings of most gaging fixtures. With a built-in
"anti-rotate" mechanism, each ball-ended probe can withstand the
high side loads often encountered in multipoint gaging operations, without
loss of accuracy.
For
a convenient means of applying accurately known input for initial "PSE"
LVDT calibration, see the Model 115C Calibration
Kit.
For
special "PSE" versions featuring high repeatability and
linearity, see the AC "PSEG" Precision
LVDT Series. For hermetically sealed versions,
see the AC "SEM" LVDT Series.
