rectilinear displacement transducer

Alright, I know that is a big word so we will break it down piece by piece and see if this makes sense. The word "rectilinear" has two meanings, but the classic meaning is this : proceeding in a straight line from one point to another; direct. Visualize the linear path of a toy car on an aluminum rod. Displacement: This is the distance an object has moved in relation to its original place. So the displacement of a toy car going back and forth on some length of track is simply the distance from one end to other. And then finally a "transducer" is the more techncial term for anything that changes energy from one type to another.

One of the cool aspects of LVDT sensors is that there are 3 coils to gage a whole range in magnetic fields i.e., think about three wires doing the macarena. Injectors that employ a magnetostrictive transducer work in the opposite way. They are using neodymium magnets and an induction coil to measure the speed of a magnetic field across a metal rod. Which would be the equivalent of saying how fast a car can go in a straight line on the pavement.

How rectilinear displacement transducers measure linear movemen

While these transducers operate in very different ways they have one, critical element in common. Distances from an immobile object to mobile element of that property The computer then translates this distance into an electrical signal that it can read. If only we could see it when its moving, how well would be able to observe.

One end of the machine's travel has a transducer attached, and steel rod or measuring implement bolted to the moving part. Now, again moving the machine so will move as well th rod made of some metal. A transducer detects the motion, and then sends a signal to a computer The time it took for these soundwaves to return are calculated by sophisticated software algorithms that creates 3-dimensional pictures of the heart beat. The computer can register from this information how the machine is moving forth and back. Kind of a game referee tally!
