LVDT Half Bridge Probes | Spring Push AX/S
  • Displacement transducer measuring ranges ±0.25, ± 0.5, ± 1, ± 1.5, ± 2,5, ± 5, ± 10 mm
  • Linearity better than 0.5% of measurement
  • Repeatability precision better than 0.05 µm
  • Range of contact sensor tips for different applications
  • Spring actuation
  • Standard contact sensor tip force of 0.7 N (options available)
  • IP65 sealing (fully sealed options available)
  • Inductive sensors with excellent side load capability
  • Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) or Half Bridge options
       

     

    • Solartron Metrology contact gauging probes, LVDT probes or displacement sensors provide the gauge builder with the most cost effective solution for a range of dimensional precision measurement and positioning applications.

    In a conventional LVDT sensor the displacement probe tip is pushed out using an internal spring. The precision bearings inside the linear displacement sensor ensure precise positioning of the gauge probe tip. Attention to detail in both design and manufacture of the displacement sensor ensures precision measurement throughout the linear displacement transducer's life.

    Buy your LVDT sensor from Solartron Metrology and be sure that you are getting an LVDT sensor that is a result of 40 years continual improvement from our experienced design engineers.  These gauge probes are manufactured solely in our dedicated ISO9001 accredited factory in the UK.

    A pneumatic LVDT probe (either pneumatic push or vacuum retract) allows the number of parts in the fixture to be reduced resulting in improved reliability and reduced fixture cost. It also allows for fast automatic loading of the part into the gauge as the displacement probe tip can be in the fully ‘retract position’ when this is occurring. Displacement probes such as the AX/5/1 have a mechanical movement of 10 mm with a calibrated range of ±1 mm at the beginning of the movement. The precision bearings inside the linear displacement sensor ensure precise positioning of the gauge probe tip. Attention to detail in both design and manufacture of the displacement sensor ensures precision measurement throughout the linear displacement transducer's life.

    Jet ‘J Type@’ probes are similar to pneumatic, except that actuation is by an inbuilt piston. High tip forces are available but as air is vented through a port close to the front of the LVDT displacement sensor, they have a lower IP rating. These pneumatic displacement probes will continue to operate even if the gaiter becomes punctured.

    LVDT Gauge Probe | Compatible Specifications

    • Range of LVDT and Half Bridge gauge probes compatible with industry standard specifications
    • Excitation Frequency options from 2.5 kHz to 20 kHz  
    • Excitation Voltage from 2 to 5 V rms  
    • Gauge Probe sensitivity from 73mV/V/mm to 230 mV/V/mm

    Solartron Metrology can provide contact gauging probes in LVDT and half bridge configurations that are fully compatible with common industrial standards. As gauging probes evolved a number of excitation frequency, amplitude and sensitivity combinations have become 'standards' these are commonly know by the name of the original probe manufacturer as shown in the table below.

    Compatible Specifications

    Solartron can supply fully compatible gauge probes in either LVDT or half bridge configuration for all of the industry standards above but also many other configurations. Please contact our Sales Office for additional information.
