An LVDT, is a transducer that converts a linear displacement or position from a mechanical reference (or zero) into a proportional electrical signal containing phase (for direction) and amplitude information (for distance).
LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers) are extremely robust, linear position/displacement transducers; inherently frictionless, they have a virtually infinite cycle life when properly used.
Microprocessor Compatible Circuit
A simple signal conditioning circuit should allow the output of the amplifier to be independent of the sensor used, providing interchangeability and high level output at very low cost
The Embedded DC Accelerometers family of accelerometers can be ordered in various standard configurations.
MEAS offers a broad line of pressure transducers with low level output, temperature compensation, and a built-in gain programming resistor.
This application note describes an amplification circuit for temperature-compensated pressure sensors.
This technical note describes one method of compensation for temperature dependence. Also note that MEAS also offers factory compensated versions of several sensor products.
