Abstract
A magnetic core structure for a Linear Variable Differential Transducer (LVDT) comprising an elongate core of magnetic material mounted within a protective tube and means for positioning the core within the protective tube, the means for positioning comprising a ball provided within the protective tube at one end of the core, the ball being formed of an elastic material having a coefficient of thermal expansion selected to compensate the difference in elongation between magnetic core structure components caused by thermal expansion.
Claims8
A magnetic core structure for a Linear Variable Differential Transducer (LVDT) comprising:
- an elongate core of magnetic material mounted within a protective tube;
- and
- a ball provided within the protective tube at one end of the core, for positioning the core within the protective tube, the ball being formed of an elastic material having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than that of the core magnetic material selected to compensate the difference in elongation between magnetic core structure components caused by thermal expansion.
