About the HR Series general purpose LVDT

The HR Series general purpose LVDTs provide the optimum performance required for a majority of applications. The large 1/16 inch [1.6mm] bore-to-core radial clearance provides for ample installation misalignments and therefore reduces the application costs. Featuring a high output voltage and a broad operating frequency range, these versatile and highly reliable LVDTs deliver worry-free and precise position measurements.

Available in a variety of stroke ranges from ±0.05 to ±10 inches, the HR Series can be configured with a number of standard options including guided core, small diameter/low mass core and mild radiation resistance (1012 NVT total integrated flux; 107 rads Gamma). High temperature operation (+220oC) and high pressure (vented case) versions are also available (consult factory). The HR Series is compatible with the full line of Althen LVDT signal conditioners.

Available options:

  • 5.0 kHz Excitation Frequency Testing
  • Metric Thread Core
  • Guided Core
  • Small Diameter/Low Mass Core
  • Mild Radiation Resistance (withstands 1012 NVT total integrated flux; 107 rads Gamma)

Applications for HR Series

  • Process control
  • Factory automation
  • Materials testing
  • Metrology
  • Applications with large misalignments
  • General industrial
