The mechanical sensing of linear motion is provided by a front guided or loose push rod. The LVDT linear sensors are available with a spring-suspended probe tip (MACT) with internal spring return, with ball joints (MACG) to compensate for vertical or horizontal misalignment or with a loose push rod (MACL) versions.
The inductive measuring principle of the MAC is configured with a cast coil in an LVDT winding. The non-contact measuring principle provides long life and high dynamics, particularly where small oscillating movements need to be detected, and high resolution is required. The rugged design of the inductive MAC with IP65 (optional IP67/68) sealing allows it to be used in harsh environments.
