Alliance Sensor Group’s LV-45 seires LVIT (Linear Variable Inductance Tranducer) position sensors are designed for measurement applications requiring rugged devices, including measuring the position of steam turbine valves, mounting in a paper mill head box or calendar roll stand, and operating outdoors fastened to exposed structures.
LV-45 sensors use a contactless inductive technology that allows them to replace other technology sensors like potentiometers and DC-LVDTs in most applications. With a simple coil design, a captive connecting rod, and a thick-walled housing, the sensors are both shorter and more robust than their DC-LVDT counterparts while operating over a wider temperature range. The LV-45 can withstand the vibration and shock levels found in mills and power plants, as well outdoor settings with that fluctuate in temperature and humidity. Once a sensor has been installed, ASG’s SenSet™ range adjustment process permits a user to match the sensor’s zer and full scale output to the workpiece’s actual range of motion.
