Linear Variable Displacement Transducers

Linear Variable Displacement Transducers (LVDT) are plunger-actuated linear potentiometers that measure dynamic displacement. These models are ideal for precision measurements of sample deformation or movement during numerous types of soil testing including shear, consolidation, and triaxial, as well as asphalt testing.

Housed in anodized aluminum, the transducers feature a stainless steel actuator shaft with an anti-rotation system that uses a double-bearing system on both the shaft and spring to reduce side load errors. Transducers come in several different ranges, each with repeatability of 0.002mm, and include a mounting bracket, screws, and gauging head with a hardened ballpoint. Displacement Transducers are wired with a 5-prong terminal block for easy connection in the Two or Four-Channel Data Readout to display displacement values.

Features:

• Variety of range options to select
• Repeatability of 0.002mm
• The shaft features an anti-rotation system and double-bearing system to diminish side load errors

Included Items:

• Linear Variable Displacement Transducer

Accessories:

• Data Readouts display real-time data from the load, displacement, and pressure transducers on different channels.
• Data Acquisition Software records specimen information and real-time test data for a wide range of soil and asphalt laboratory tests and prepares reports following applicable ASTM and AASHTO requirements
• Dial Indicator / Displacement Transducer Brackets provide stable positioning for the transducer
