Miniature LVDT position sensor for clutch measurement in motorsport
21st January 2009
A World Rally Championship race team approached Active Sensors to solve a problem they had measuring clutch position on their WRC car. Their current clutch measurement sensor was failing due to the extreme environment of the application, high temperatures and severe levels of vibration. As well as the ability to operate accurately in this hostile environment, it was critical that the sensor was designed with other strict parameters in mind, these being: · 8.0mm body diameter & length of 29.9mm · Temperatures range 200°C · Electrical stroke of 12.7mm (1/2”) · Non linearity of <+/-1.5% Active Sensors provided a special design version of our ultra slim LT0800 LVDT sensor.The initial coil development phase of the LVDT indicated that not only could we meet all our clients’ criteria, we improved them!
