LINEAR DISPLACEMENT SENSOR (LDS)
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS announces the development of
a Linear Displacement Sensor (LDS) for aircraft and
industrial applications using proprietary TI sensor
technology. With over 40 years of expertise in discrete
position sensing in a wide range of demanding
aerospace and industrial applications, TI offers a
variable output sensor that measures linear
displacement.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LDS
• Ratiometric DC output voltage of 0.54.5 Vdc
• Supply voltage is 5 Vdc
• Infinite resolution
• Operation at –65°F to +250°F
• Robust with a mechanical life of over
1.5 million cycles
• Linearity of < ± 2.5% Vcc.
APPLICATIONS
•
Flight controls
•
Cockpit controls
•
Nose wheel steering
•
Landing gear
•
Door electronics
•
Hydraulic controls
•
Elevators
•
Industrial & Commercial equipment
•
Conveyor belts
The Linear Displacement Sensor (LDS) can be
customized in various configurations to meet
specific application requirements. TI offers
several displacement and mounting options.
