How LVDT’s Work

Working principle of LVDT

Types of LVDT’s ► Unguided Armature ► Captive Armature ► Spring-extended Armature

Unguided Armature Measured Object Armature fits loosely Armature must be attached to the specimen Body must be separately supported & properly aligned Elevation/Cross-Section View

Unguided Armature ► There is no wear on the LVDT because no contact is made between armature and bore. ► LVDT does not restrict the resolution of measured data (“infinite resolution”). Elevation/Cross-Section View Measured Motion

Captive Armature Body must be separately supported Measured Object Armature must be attached to the specimen Armature is both guided and restrained by a low friction assembly

Captive Armature Advantages compared to unguided armature: ► Better for longer working ranges ► Preferred when misalignment may occur

Spring-Extended Armature Elevation/Cross-Section View Measured Object Like the captive armature, it has a low-friction bearing assembly Internal spring to continuously push the armature to its fullest possible extension

Summary ► LVDT’s are robust equipment for measuring deflection. ► AC LVDT’s require separate signal conditioning equipment, while DC LVDT’s include signal conditioning equipment on the device. ► There are three types of LVDT: unguided armature, captive armature, and spring-extended armature. ► AC LVDT’s cost less than DC, but the entire measurement system must be considered.
