In many aerospace LVDT applications, LVDTs are employed to provide critical position feedback data and monitor systems where precision is key. Here are some of the typical applications:
In defense satellites and launch systems, LVDTs are employed to monitor various systems' positioning. Their reliability and ability to withstand harsh environments make them ideal for such applications. For example, they can be used to track solar panel deployment or to provide feedback on antenna positioning systems.
Valve pitch actuators in aerospace applications often rely on LVDTs for position sensing. By providing precise and reliable feedback, LVDTs allow for precise control of valve positions, which is critical for engine performance and fuel efficiency.
In engine bleed air systems, LVDTs can provide critical position feedback for valves and other components. This data is essential to maintain optimal engine performance and safety.
Fuel control systems in aerospace applications require a high degree of precision. LVDTs are commonly used in these systems to provide accurate position feedback for valves and other components, ensuring fuel is delivered efficiently and safely.
Thrust vector control (TVC) is crucial for the maneuverability of rockets and spacecraft. LVDTs play a key role in these systems, providing real-time feedback on the positioning of various components. This information allows for precise control over the direction of thrust, enabling accurate steering of the spacecraft.
Valve position feedback is essential in a myriad of aerospace systems, from fuel delivery to life-support systems. LVDTs are a popular choice for these applications due to their accuracy and reliability, even in harsh conditions.
