What does LVDT mean?

Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT), also known as Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT) or Linear Variable Displacement Transformer (LVDT), is a type of transformer used for measuring linear displacement or linear distance.
LVDT is a measuring device that converts linear displacement into an electrical signal. It consists of a fixed primary and two secondary winding with a movable core.
LVDT can be used to measure the displacement ranging from a fraction of millimeters to a few centimeters.
