LVDT linear position sensor for aerospace and defense applications

High temperature rugged LVDT linear position sensor for aerospace and defense applications.

Such as fuel/oil level monitoring, load balancing of the artillery platform and control of the aircraft's flight surface and aircraft carrier's rudder position, tankers, boats and submarines. Specially tailored sensors withstand high temperature spikes and withstand the harsh environments common in military aircraft and equipment.

As position feedback components for closed-loop servo systems, these LVDT linear position sensors can be used as single or multi-channel devices, depending on redundancy and reliability requirements. Most are four-channel systems for military aircraft. With the advent of ratio LVDT and digital signal processing technology, position sensors have greatly improved in temperature stability and accuracy, ensuring higher precision for aircraft fuel monitoring and positioning. If these feedback sensors are not accurate, the aircraft and the vessel will not be able to travel along the best path to the destination, which will result in wasted fuel.

Specially tailored sensors are highly versatile and can be used on land vehicles such as tanks and trucks as feedback devices for active suspensions for load balancing and leveling of artillery platforms. The combination of these position sensors and hydraulic actuators ensures that the launch platform can be precisely leveled very quickly even during motion. By measuring the roll and yaw by combining a high temperature linear position sensor with a hydraulic system and a suitable gyroscope system, the tank canon can "shoot while running" without having to "stop and shoot".

In addition to these defensive applications, it can also be used to monitor moving surfaces, such as the tilt of a passenger wing, or the jet nozzle or hydraulic tank of a jet fighter.
