LVDTs resistant to effects of paper stock
A
RDP Electronics product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team
Dec 3, 2008
RDP Electronics has launched LVDTs designed to withstand the harsh environment encountered in pulp and paper manufacturing processes.
Typical applications include the use of slice indication LVDTs on paper machines to measure the gap through which the paper pulp is extruded on to the webbing.
Transducers in this environment are subject to contact with sticky paper pulp that can prove corrosive to materials used in standard LVDTs.
RDP has engineered solutions using special materials and transducers that are resistant to the harmful effects of paper stock.
The transducers are also waterproof and designed to be unaffected by high-pressure water jets used during paper machinery cleaning operations.
The LVDTs are resistant to the operating environment and are sufficiently robust.
