About the XS-D series

The XS-D Series of LVDTs are specifically designed for measuring relatively large displacements where installation space is limited. The XS-D Series have a substantially greater displacement range than standard LVDTs but without the accompanying increase in body length and weight. Using special coil winding techniques, the XS-D permits linear range measurements of up to 80% of the housing length.

Compact, shock and vibration tolerant, and featuring infinite resolution and repeatability, the XS-D Series are the perfect choice for servo mechanisms, linear potentiometer replacement, or wherever precise displacement measurements are required in space restrictive applications. All models are supplied with a calibration certificate, and are available with either an imperial or metric threaded core. The XS-D Series are compatible with all Althen LVDT signal conditioners, controllers and readouts.

Applications for XS-D Series

  • Servo mechanisms
  • Hydraulic actuators
  • Linear potentiometer replacement
  • Space restrictive installations
  • Weight sensitive applications
