The mechanical detection of linear motion is provided by a front guided or loose push rod. LVDT linear transducer versions are available with a spring-suspended probe tip (EDCT) with external spring return and with a loose push rod (EDCL). The inductive measurement principle of the EDC is configured with a cast spool in LVDT winding. The electronics, which convert the position into a linear analogue signal, are integrated in the sensor housing. The non-contact measurement principle provides a long service life and allows high dynamic applications, especially where small oscillating movements need to be detected. The inductive measurement delivers absolute values, is true power on and has high resolution.
