What's So Good About LVIT Technology and What Is It All About, Anyway?

Alliance Sensors Group, a division of H.G. Schaevitz, LLC, has developed a linear position sensing technology called LVIT that offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio compared to other linear position sensing technologies such as LVDTs, linear potentiometers, and magnetostrictive devices. Furthermore, LVITs can offer the best stroke-to-length ratio of any contactless linear position sensor, because their overall length only increases by a relatively small percentage beyond their stroke.

Quick Start Guide ME-7 In-cylinder Position Sensor Installation

Mechanical installation: An ASG ME-7 in-cylinder position sensors is embedded into a 48 mm diameter
cavity in the rear endcap of a hydraulic cylinder. It may be inserted from the front of an unassembled
cylinder or from the rear of a cylinder with a two-piece endcap with a separate end cover.

Quick Start Guide Installation of MR-7 Series In-cylinder Position Sensors

Mechanical installation: MR-7 in-cylinder position sensors are designed to be inserted into an o-ring port machined into the rear endcap of the hydraulic cylinder.  Standard MR-7s use an SAE J1926-1 -8 port with a 3/4-16 UNF thread. Metric threaded versions use an ISO 1649-1 port with a M18 x 1.5 thread. Both ports are Illustrated below.  For either size port, the sensor's male thread comes with a Viton o-ring installed.

SAE J1926-1  -8 Port

Linear Position Sensor LZ-33

The LZ-33 Series of LVIT (Linear Variable Inductance Transducer) position sensors are contactless devices designed for frictionless measurement in factory automation or assembly machinery applications where space is a premium, as well as for external mounting on hydraulic cylinders to sense rod position. The LVIT is offered in nominal full scale ranges from 150 to 900 mm (6 to 36 inches) with an excellent stroke-to-length ratio, so that the sensor’s overall length is only 76 mm (3 inches) longer than the linear range of the unit. The sensor has a 33.4 mm (1.315 inch) outside diameter aluminum or optional stainless steel body with a 1 or 3 m radial cable ...

Linear Position Sensor LZ-25

The LZ-25 Series of LVIT (Linear Variable Inductance Transducer) position sensors are contactless devices designed for frictionless measurement in factory automation or assembly machinery applications where space is a premium, as well as for external mounting on hydraulic cylinders to sense rod position. The LVIT is offered in nominal full scale ranges from 50 to 900 mm (2 to 36 inches) with an excellent stroke-to-length ratio, so that the sensor’s overall length is only 38 mm (1.5 inches) longer than the linear range of the unit. The sensor has a 25.4 mm (1 inch) outside diameter aluminum or optional stainless steel body with a 1m radial cable for I/O ...
