Miniaturized position sensor can handle harsh conditions
The M-375 Series Miniature AC LVDT (photo) is an a.c.-operated position sensor for applications with harsh and high-pressure environments with limited space. It is lightweight and has a compact 3/8-in. dia. It has a corrosion-resistant, nickel-iron alloy housing and core, and operates in temperature extremes of –65° to 400°F, to provide reliable, linear position feedback in harsh and high-pressure industrial applications with tight space and weight restrictions. It provides high-response dynamic measurement for machine operations, such as robotics, automatic inspection equipment, plastic injection molding, hydraulic cylinder and valve positioning, downhole drilling and dimensional gaging, says the company. The LVDTs in this product family are available in many measurement ranges. — NewTek Sensor Solutions, Pennsauken, N.J.
