Linear Variable Differential Transformers

The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is an accurate and reliable method for measuring linear distance. LVDTs find uses in modern machine-tool, robotics, avionics, and computerized manufacturing.

The LVDT (see Figure 3-1) is a position-to-electrical ...
