Working principle
The core technology of linear variable differential transformer DET200A is based on the principle of differential transformer:
1. Structural composition: The sensor consists of a primary coil, two symmetrically distributed secondary coils, and a movable iron core. High-frequency alternating current (usually 1kHz~1.5kHz) is passed into the primary coil to generate an alternating magnetic field.
2. Displacement detection: When the iron core moves axially with the object to be measured (such as the piston of the actuator), the magnetic flux distribution of the secondary coil changes accordingly, resulting in a difference in the induced electromotive force of the two coils. When the core is close to the secondary coil on one side, the output voltage of the coil increases, while that on the other side decreases, forming a differential voltage.
3. Signal output: The differential voltage is linearly related to the displacement of the core. After being processed by the signal conditioning circuit (such as filtering and amplification), a standard analog signal (such as 4-20mA, 0-10V) or a digital signal (such as RS485) is output for real-time monitoring by the control system.
Technical parameters
The key technical indicators of DET200A are as follows:
- Range: 0~200mm.
- Linearity: ±0.05%~0.5% (within the full range), high precision is achieved by optimizing the number of coil turns and core length.
- Sensitivity: 2.8~230mV/V/mm, to meet the needs of different working conditions.
- Excitation voltage/frequency: 5~20Vrms AC excitation, frequency range 400Hz~10kHz (typical value is 1kHz or 1.5kHz).
- Operating temperature: -55℃~+180℃, suitable for extreme industrial environments.
- Output signal: supports three-wire analog output, compatible with PLC, DCS and other control systems.
Product features
