Radiation Resistant LVDTs for Nuclear Power, Defense, and Space
The most common applications for radiation resistant LVDTs include measuring position of nuclear fuel and control rods in power generation, missile fins, nuclear plant steam and control valves, particle accelerator components, submarine valves and fins, and actuators and components of objects in space.
NewTek offers radiation resistant options on most standard and semi-custom AC LVDTs and on LVDTs with temperature ratings from cryogenic to 500°C. Radiation resist LVDTs can be mounted in irradiated areas while the associated signal conditioning electronics can be mounted in a shielded location – sometimes hundreds of feet away from the sensor.
