Measurement experts RDP Electronics Ltd can provide a reliable means of measuring the piston position of hydraulic cylinders by using LVDTs.
For situations where it is not possible to fit RDP Temposonics magnetostrictive type of transducers within the cylinder, then an alternative approach of attaching an LVDT externally in parallel with the piston, has frequently proved to be a successful solution. Fitted in this way the LVDT can follow and measure the displacement of the piston. Thanks to their robust construction RDP’s LVDTs also prove to be durable, reliable and accurate despite the operating environment. In fact appropriately specified LVDTs can be used submerged and even tolerate exposure to corrosive liquids.
