Transducers operating on linear differential inductance principle are designed to withstand the most extreme conditions, including high and low temperatures, high pressure, and radiation
Transducer specialist RDP Electronics offers a comprehensive range of displacement sensors specifically designed to operate in harsh environments.
The PY and LIN series are used in applications involving high and low temperatures, excessive pressures and even nuclear radiation.
The LIN range of contacting displacement sensors uses a linear differential inductance principle (LVDT) for measurement ranges from 10mm up to 50mm.
The range includes options for maximum operating temperatures of either 220C or 600C.
The design of the LIN transducer has also proved successful at pressures of 3000psi, minimum temperatures down to -220C and in nuclear radiation doses up to 100,000 MegaRads.
The compact PY range has been designed for non-contact proximity measurements in similarly harsh conditions.
PY sensors use a variable reluctance principle to measure the distance of a metallic target from the sensor over ranges of 1.5mm to 6mm.
