High temperature LVDT sensors for competition brake calliper and clutch release systems

3rd August 2009

A major manufacturer of competition brake calliper and clutch release systems approached Active Sensors to design and manufacture a high temperature LVDT sensor in a miniature 6.0mm body diameter for mounting in the brake calliper and clutch release systems used in Formula One and 24 Hour Endurance Racing.   

The LT0600 with a measurement range up to 25mm (1”) is the most compact and accurate, high temperature LVDT sensor available for competition applications. The design utilises the latest inductive wire ‘layered’ winding techniques coupled with the correct coil encapsulation compound to ensure survival in an environment suffering severe vibration and temperatures in excess of +400°C (750°F). The sensor is also available with single, duplex or quad, in-line ‘miniature’ signal conditioning electronics (FIA homologated).
