Ensure axial alignment of the LVDT’s probe with plane of movement to be measured

This will ensure that you don’t risk bending the LVDT’s extension rod.

Monitor LVDT output during installation

Reading the LVDT signal in conjunction with the supplied calibration certificate will ensure that it is positioned to work over the linear, calibrated part of its measuring range, guaranteeing best possible performance.

Clamp the LVDT body tube securely

This will ensure that you get accurate and repeatable readings from your LVDT displacement sensor.  Be sure to avoid excessive clamping force as this can damage the LVDT and affect accuracy by deforming the body tube.

Position the LVDT slightly nose-down in wet environments

If this isn’t possible purchase one with an extension rod wiper fitted as this will minimise the ingress of water and dirt into body tube.
