Inductive Transducers

The document discusses the principles and operation of Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT) and Rotary Variable Differential Transformers (RVDT), detailing their output characteristics based on core displacement. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of both devices, highlighting LVDT's high measurement range and precision, while noting its sensitivity to temperature and vibrations. RVDT is praised for its consistency and durability but is limited by contact issues and a restricted output range.

LINEAR VARIABLE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER (LVDT)

Type equation here.


Case 1:

The output phase sequence as well as output magnitude


differentiation with respect to input signals that derives
displacement and movement of the core.
The arrangement of the shaft at the neutral location or at
the null mainly indicates that the induced voltages across
secondary windings which are connected in series are
equivalent.
EV1= EV2
Eo = EV1– EV2 = 0 V

The amplitude of the differential output voltage determines the distance


travelled.
The phase of the output voltage indicates the direction travelled.
Case 2:

Highest right position:


Once the shaft is shifted in the right side direction, then a
huge force can be generated across S2 winding, on the
other hand, the minimum force can be produced across S1
winding.

Thus, the ‘E2’ (induced Voltage) is considerably


superior to E1. The resultant differential voltages
equations are shown below.
Eo = EV2 – EV1
Case 3:

Maximum Left Position


When the shaft is inclined more in the direction of the left
side, then high flux can be generated across S1 winding &
voltage can be induced across ‘EV1’ when ‘EV2’ is
decreased. The equation for this is given below.
Eo =EV1 – EV2

The final LVDT output can be calculated in terms of


frequency, current, or voltage.
In connection with the LVDT setup, analyze the following graphs provided.
LVDT advantages
•The measurement of the displacement range of LVDT is very high from 1.25 mm
to - 250 mm.
•The LVDT output is very high, and it doesn’t require any extension.
•When the core travels within a hollow former, consequently there is no failure of
displacement input due to frictional loss, so it makes an LVDT a precise device.
•LVDT demonstrates a small hysteresis and thus repetition is exceptional in all
situations
•The power consumption of the LVDT is very low about 1 W as evaluated by
another type of transducers.
•LVDT changes the linear dislocation into an electrical voltage which is simple to
progress.
LVDT disadvantages
•LVDT gets damaged by temperature as well as vibrations.
•This transformer needs large displacements to get significant
differential output.
•These are responsive to stray magnetic fields.
•The limited dynamic response.
Rotatory Variable Differential Transformer
RVDT Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantages of RVDT include the following.
•The consistency of RVDT is high
•The exactness of RVDT is high
•The lifespan is long
•The performance is repeatable
•The construction is compact and strong
•Durability
•Low cost
•Easy to handle electronic components
•Resolution is infinite
•Linearity is excellent
•A wide range of dimension ranges

The disadvantages of RVDT mainly include the following


•Contact problems.
•The output of the RVDT is linear (about +40 or -40 degrees), so it restricts the usability.
