LVDT: Linear Variable Differential Transformer Explained

A Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is a precision electromechanical sensor used to measure linear displacement by converting mechanical motion into a proportional electrical signal. It belongs to the family of inductive transducers and operates without physical electrical contact between moving parts, which is a key reason for its durability and accuracy. In modern engineering […]

Piezoelectric Transducer – Construction, Working and Applications

The term “Piezo” in Piezoelectric Transducer originates from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press” or “to squeeze.” This etymology reflects the fundamental principle of piezoelectricity—a phenomenon in which mechanical pressure generates an electrical voltage. Piezoelectric transducers (sensor / Actuator) harness this effect to convert mechanical energy (such as pressure, force, vibration, or acceleration) into electrical […]
