Inductive Linear Transducer EDC

Precise displacement measurement with compact sensor housing

The EDC series of inductive linear transducers combine the proven LVDT measuring principle with permanently encapsulated coils and integrated electronics for signal conditioning. They are available with either a voltage output (0–10 V) or a current output (0–20 mA/4–20 mA). This makes them ready for direct connection, eliminating the need for an additional evaluation unit. Thanks to their integrated electronics and compact housing, the sensors are particularly suitable for confined installation conditions and cost-effective applications.

The linear movement is mechanically detected via a single-sided guide or a loose push rod. Two versions are available:

• EDCT with external return spring for probing applications
• EDCL with loose push rod for free mechanical coupling

The sensor signal is absolute, meaning position feedback is available immediately after switching on or off, without the need for a reference run or initialization. The high resolution enables precise feedback even over short distances. Thanks to the non-contact measuring principle, the sensor has a very long service life and is also suitable for applications involving small, highly dynamic oscillating movements. A plug connection is available for the electrical connection. Customized adaptations (e.g. assembly of the plug or push rod) are available on request.
