Macro Sensors' line of 24-V DC-operated spring-loaded LVDT position sensors are designed for a variety of position measurement and dimensional gaging applications. The GHSE/GHSER 750 Series LVDT position sensors operate from 24-V DC, delivering an output of 0 to 10-V DC over the full sensing range. Now the units can be powered directly from a PLC power supply.
Constructed of stainless steel, the sensors are ready-to-use, hermetically sealed 3/4" sensors. For added protection against harsh industrial environments, coil windings are sealed against hostile environments to IEC standard IP-68. Electrical termination of GHSE and GHSER configurations use MIL spec sealed connectors. The GHSER units have radially-mounted connectors that shorten the installed length of DC LVDTs for use in locations with space restrictions. A detachable mating connector, supplied with every unit, permits repair or replacement of damaged or several cables without the need to replace the entire LVDT.
