What is lvdt?

The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement.


What does the abbreviation LVDT stand for?

The abbreviation LVDT stands for "Linear Variable Differential Transformer". In common usage, it is also just called a differential transformer, and measures linear displacement, i.e. movement.


Why linear variable differential transformer is called variable?

The clue is in the name - variable.

What is transducer and how it may be used to measure displacement?

Transducer is a device which convert physical signal into electrical signal ( current/voltage/resistance). for linear measurement we can use LVDT (Linear Variable Displacement Transducer/ Linear Variable Differential Transformer). and for rotary measurement we can use RVDT (Rotary Variable Differential Transformer)


Why a linear transformer is called linear?

That is because they are of the form y = a1x1 + a2x2 + ... anxn where x1, ... xn are variables and a1, ..., an are constants. Such an equation represents a straight line in n-dimensional space.


Explain briefly about LVDT with working and neat diagram?

First off, LVDT stands for linear variable differential transformer. The principle of the LVDT is that the physical energy is converted into electrical signals.
