The HGSI T-375-A series AC Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) Position Sensors are used to monitor and track the linear
motion or position of a target. These miniature sensors are ideal for use in industrial and laboratory applications including automotive
R&D, motorsports, industrial, motion control, medical, military and aerospace.
These swaged-end sensors are constructed entirely of stainless steel and are resistant to dust and temperature. The coil windings are
sealed using an epoxy potting compound providing excellent protection against shock and vibration.
The T-375-A series will operate with most any conventional differential input AC LVDT signal conditioner, but operation with ratiometric
signal conditioning is not recommended. HGSI offers a full line of compatible AC LVDT signal conditioners. Please contact us for a
recommendation.
