Inductive Technology
工作原理
LVDT 位移传感器通过将核心移动穿过主体来工作。铁芯在体内的位置由绕在骨架上的线圈检测。向线圈提供交流信号，然后返回交流信号。然后通过调节电子设备处理该信号，以提供核心位置的测量值。主体通常安装在元件的静态部分上，而核心连接在运动部分上。图中显示了简化的电气原理图。
Principle of Operation
A LVDT Displacement Sensor works by moving the core through the body. The positions of the core within the body is detected by coils wound on the bobbin. The coils are supplied with an AC signal and then returned an AC signal. The signal is then processed by conditioning electronics to provide a measure of the core positions. The body is normally mounted on the static part of an element and the core attached to the moving part. A simplified electrical schematic is shown in the figure.
The secondary coils A and B are connected in series opposition so that the two voltages VA and VB have opposite phase and the transducer output is VA-VB. If the core is in the centre positions then voltages of equal magnitude but opposite phase will be induced in each secondary and the net output is zero. As the core is moved in one direction, the voltage in the corresponding secondary coil increases while the other coil experiences a complementary voltage reduction. The net effect is a transducer voltage output that is proportional to displacement. Knowledge of the magnitude and the phase of the output with respect to the excitation signal allows one to deduce the positions and direction of the core motion from the null positions.
The output of an LVDT is a linear function of displacement over its calibrated measurement range. Beyond this range the output becomes increasingly non-linear. Measurement range is defined as ± distance from the transducer null positions.
Half Bridge, LVDT and digital transducers
线性可变差动变压器 (LVDT) 和半桥是线圈格式的两种替代方法，将在本节中进行介绍。LVDT 和半桥传感器将磁芯在通电线圈产生的磁场中的运动转换为可检测的电信号。
The linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) and Half-Bridge are two alternative approaches to the coil format and are described in this section. LVDT and Half-Bridge transducers convert the movement of a core within the magnetic field produced by an energised coil into a detectable electrical signal.
传统半桥
Conventional Half Bridge
半桥传感器构成惠斯通电桥电路的一半，可以轻松确定从零开始的变化。电桥的另一半内置于放大器中。当磁芯处于中心位置时，两个信号 VA 和 VB 相等。随着铁芯移位，两个绕组的相对电感发生变化，从而产生 VA 和 VB 的互补变化。
The Half Bridge transducer forms half of a Wheatstone bridge circuit, which enables change from null to be readily determined. The other half of the bridge is built into the amplifier. When the core is in a central positions, the two signals VA and VB are equal. As the core is displaced, the relative inductance of the two windings changes producing a complimentary change in VA and VB.
Conventional LVDT
当磁芯处于中心位置时，从初级 (VEXC) 到每个次级的耦合相等，因此 VA=VB 且输出 Vout=0。随着磁芯的位移，VA 与 VB 不同，输出 VOUT 的幅度和相位与运动成比例变化。
When the core is in a central positions, the coupling from the primary (VEXC) to each secondary is equal, so VA=VB and the output Vout=0. As the core is displaced VA differs from VB, and the output VOUT changes in magnitude and phase in proportion to the movement.
