What is an LVIT and where are they used?

经过保罗Heney|2016年5月27日

LVITs, Linear Variable Inductive Transducers, which have been around for more than 30 years, are relatively low cost, contactless position sensing devices that utilize eddy currents developed by an inductor in the surface of a conductive movable element that is mechanically coupled to the moving object whose position is being measured. The common form of an LVIT uses a small diameter inductive probe surrounded by a conductive tube called a “spoiler.” Typical LVITs have full ranges from fractions of an inch to 30 or more inches. Modern electronics utilizing microprocessors make possible outstanding performance, achieving linearity errors of less than ±0.15% of FSO and temperature coefficients of 50 ppm/ºF, along with either analog or digital outputs. See Figure 1 for a cutaway view.

LVITs are used in many factory automation applications, including packaging and material handling equipment, die platen position in plastic molding machines, roller positioning and web tension controls in paper mills or converting facilities, and robotic spray painting systems. Being contactless, the basic measurement mechanism of an LVIT does not wear out over time due to rapid cycling or dithering like a resistive device. LVITs also offer a much lower installed cost than that of most other contactless technologies.

图1 虽然图1显示了打算连接到它正在测量的零件的LVIT,但也可以加载LVIT,如图2所示。自然问题是:在哪里使用弹簧载荷的LVIT传感器与另一个弹簧- 诸如LVDT量规头之类的载荷技术?
实际上,可以使用LVIT代替传统量规头,主要是因为LVIT提供了相同的分辨率和可重复性,并且机械地,外径相同的外径和外部安装线,但大约有一半的量规。头部,使LVIT的行程与长度比率更好。所有这些功能的成本明显较低。为什么使用9英寸。长传感器可以通过4英寸实现相同的性能来测量1英寸的行程。长LVIT传感器?基于LVIT的工厂自动化中的Gaging应用程序通常会镜像传统的量规头,如下所示。

图2 与LVDT铅笔量程探针相比,弹簧弹簧的LVIT可以满足许多相同的应用:汽车,医疗和MIL/Aero测试架,机器人臂,零件放置和车间尺寸尺寸尺寸应用程序,以等待一些。铅笔探针通常是出于两个原因之一:分辨率和可重复性或大小。铅笔探头比LVIT小(8mm或0.375英寸OD),并且分辨率和重复性为400万英寸。但是,铅笔探针需要单独的LVDT信号调节器,使每个通道的成本通常是LVIT的成本两倍。如果应用程序不需要铅笔探测器的特定功能,则弹簧加载的LVIT是一个要低得多的替代品。

通过接近传感器解决的一些工厂自动化应用程序可以对LVIT技术更好地满足,该技术提供了比例的模拟输出,比仅仅是NPN或PNP TTL开关信号提供了更大的控制灵活性。图2中所示的弹簧LVIT在其外壳上有18mm线,与接近传感器制造商常用的线相匹配。凭借LVIT的短体长,传感器可以适合以前有接近探针的地方或安装。

Alliance Sensors组提供的所有LVIT产品还具有ASG专有的Senset字段可编程缩放,该缩放使用户只需按下按钮或接地单个连接即可在应用程序中安装后的任何机械变化。此感觉功能减少了设置时间和总拥有成本。作为典型的例子,请考虑6英寸。范围LVIT用于测量过程阀茎的位置,该过程阀杆的位置可移动5.5英寸。通过使用Senset安装传感器的输出,可以在5.5英寸的5.5英寸上获得完整的4-20 mA输出。茎实际上移动。
