"Transducers" are devices that convert one form of energy into another. There are many different transducer types, converting many different forms of energy. One common example would be a microphone, which converts sound waves into an electrical signal for transmission to some type of signal amplifier. (Conversely, another example could be the speaker that receives that amplified signal, and converts it back into sound waves again.) Heat, strain, vibration, and pressure are other examples of energy that can be converted into various output signals.
"Displacement" refers to how the transducer receives or measures "input information" through various forms of motion. Stretching, flexing, shaking, and pressures are examples of these motions.
"Linear" refers to the design of a transducer, in that it receives information from a source in a linear, or straight, direction.
So, a Linear Displacement Transducer is a device that takes some form of input energy fed to it in a straight line, and outputs a converted signal relative to the range of displacement that has taken place. (If you know what a "potentiometer" is, think of a Linear Displacement Transducer as a potentiometer that moves in and out rather than rotates left and right.)

Types of positive displacement pump?
gear pump, crescent gear pump, axial-piston pump, radial-piston pump, linear-piston pump, & vane pump Also, fuel injection pumps such as linear piston pumps and rotary piston pumps.
What is the piston displacement of a compressor with 2in bore?
what is the piston displacement of a compressor with 2" bore and 3" strokes
What is meant by axial displacement in steam turbine?
Axial displacement is the motion along the shaft of the turbine caused by the force exerted by the steam or by the thermal expansion of the shaft and casing.
What is the difference between a hydrostatic and a hydraulic system?
By "Hydrostatic" systems one tends to mean "closed loop hydraulic systems". That is hydraulic systems comprising a pump and motor hwere the pump supplies the motor whose return side supplies the pump. The speed and direction of rotation of the hydraulic motor being changed according to the displacement angle of the variable displacement axial pison pump. "Open loop hydraulic systems" on the other hand comprises various motors often one or more "linear motors" (hydraulic cylinders). When using hydraulic cylinders in hydraulic systems one needs a reservoir to be able to hold the various volume need of the cylinder. (the displacement on the piston side is usually bigger than the rodside). The reservoir needs a "breather" due to the varous displacement needs hence the "open system".
What is the ratio of variable displacement axial piston hydraulic pump and variable displacement bent axis hydraulic motor?
These have to do with the hydraulic density. In automobile, the density increases therefore making the hydraulic ratio to displace more than any hydraulic ratio in a displacement.
What are displacement transducers?
vector representing a change in position of a body or point with respect to a reference point, Displacement may be linear or angular.
What is linear displacement?
It is a line that is out of place
What is displacement factor?
Displacement factor is equal to the power factor for linear loads with sinusoidal voltages and currents.pf = cos (angle1 - angle2)
How can you get the piston displacement volume in linear compressor?
No. :/
What is linear transformer?
The Linear Variable Differential Transformer is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement. A counterpart to this device that is used for measuring rotary displacement is called a Rotary Variable Differential Transformer.
How many thousands of an inch to one degree?
An inch is a measure of linear displacement (distance) while a degree is a measure of angular displacement (rotation). There is no constant relationship between the two. The same angular displacement will result in a bigger linear displacement the further you are from the centre of rotation.
How many inches is an acute angle?
An inch is a measure of linear displacement, not angular displacement. The two measures are incompatible.
What is lvdt?
The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement.
What are displacement?
vector representing a change in position of a body or point with respect to a reference point, Displacement may be linear or angular.
How many degrees equal 1 inch?
The question cannot be answered simply. A degree is a measure of angular displacement whereas an inch is a measure of linear displacement. If the angular displacement (in degrees) were measured at a distance r inches from some fixed point (the centre of rotation), then the linear displacement would be pi*r/180 inches.
What is mass divided by length?
Mass divided by linear displacement (length or distance) is density, often called linear density or lambda.
Does a galvanometer have a linear readout?
They try to make galvanometers so that a linear increase in current results in equal angular displacement of the needle.
