Applied Measurement linear position sensor

The LCIT series is based on a patented linear position sensor design that features all of the benefits of current LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) inductive technology, but at a significantly lower cost. The proprietary coil and electronics design of the LCIT has allowed Schaevitz to dramatically increase the frequency response without increasing noise and lower the mass of the core, making the sensor suitable for dynamic applications, but within the price range of a standard potentiometer.

Like an LVDT, the new sensors are also non-contacting and have no moving parts, thus reducing wear while offering good resolution and repeatability characteristics.

Available with strokes from 1-10 cm and featuring linearity of 0.25%, the LCIT is available in a wide range of custom configurations, including a design that allows the moving part itself to be the spoiler.
