• Imperial or metric threaded core

DESCRIPTION

The MP Series LVDTs provide classic precision performance in harsh industrial environments. The rugged, extruded anodized aluminum housing contains a 100% epoxy encapsulated LVDT, affording superior environmental, mechanical and EMI/RFI protection. The convenient heavy-duty terminal strip replaces multiple lead wires thereby simplifying electrical connection, while the mounting flanges ease mechanical installation. An integral PTFE  bore liner provides a smooth, low-friction bearing surface for the core and reduces diametrical clearance.
Available in a variety of stroke ranges from ±0.5 to ±10 inches, the MP Series is the ideal choice for industrialmill type applications, power turbines, or wherever aggressive environmental conditions are present. The MPSeries is also available with a small diameter/low-mass core, for applications where excessive core weight couldinfluence the motion. The lightweight core can also reduce mechanical stresses and help preserve the structural integrity of the core actuation assembly during high speed displacement or under high vibration. The MP Seriesis compatible with the full line of Measurement Specialties LVDT signal conditioners, readouts and controllers.
Like in most of our LVDTs, the MP windings are vacuum impregnated with a specially formulated, high temperature, flexible resin, and the coil assembly is potted inside its housing with a two-component epoxy. Thisprovides excellent protection against hostile environments such as high humidity, vibration and shock.
Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ MEAS) offers many other types of sensors and signal conditioners.
