Displacement transducers operate underwater

A RDP Electronics product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 13, 2001

RDP manufactures LVDT displacement sensors to operate in any environment including underwater at pressures reaching 240bar.

RDP manufactures LVDT displacement sensors to operate in any environment including underwater at pressures reaching 240bar.

The ACW and DCW long-stroke submersible displacement transducers have a stroke range of +/-12.5 to +/-150mm, and a choice of armature configurations, operating supplies and various cable connection options which can extend the pressure rating from 10 to 200bar.

The corrosive effect of seawater presents an even harsher environment for submersible displacement sensors, reducing operating life of standard products.

The use of welded 316 stainless-steel for the casing of its SSA and SSD ranges extends RDP's submersible range, allowing long-stroke precision measurements in sea water up to 2.4km deep and increasing operating life to 10 years.
