Magnetbau Schramme’s LVDT position sensor can be installed in any position. It features extreme accuracy and maximum linearity at minimum size.
LVDT position sensors are used in hydraulic systems when valves are to be effectively controlled via a closed-loop control circuit.
A high-end proportional solenoid has a hysteresis of 2-3 %. The hysteresis and the quality of the proportional solenoid determine the positioning accuracy with respect to the input variable of the current. For applications in which this deviation needs to be corrected, a position sensor (LVDT) is required to detect the exact position of the armature/slide valve and thus close the control circuit.
The LVDT position sensor and the proportional solenoid are available as an assembly. The operational gain and the zero position are factory-calibrated and set. Your savings are in the assembling and the connecting of various components, along with time-consuming adjustments.
