Small load cells are big value when size matters(18/12/2012)

When small load cells are needed for measurement of tension or compression forces, then RDP Electronics Ltd has a range of miniature and sub-miniature transducers available for a variety of applications.
Accurate measurement of liquid level using LVDT(03/11/2011)

Although there are various options for measuring liquid level in a tank, RDP Electronics has an LVDT based methodn that can often be used where other methods are inappropriate. Typically the LVDT is fitted with a weighted float and installed with the transducer directed vertically downward towards the liquid surface. This approach is often suitable where the liquid inside may form a foam on top, precluding the use of optical devices.
Accurate measurement of hydraulic cylinder position(19/08/2011)

RDP Electronics can supply a range of MTS Temposonics sensors that are particularly suitable for measuring the position of hydraulic actuators. The magnetostrictive principle upon which Temposonics transducers are based ensures accuracy and reliability and also makes them very suitable for installing inside the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder. Rods are usually installed with the hole at the centre and this is a very convenient space for placing the magnetostrictive transducer.
Affordable non-contact torque transducer avoids need for slip-rings(05/07/2011)

For applications where measurements are to be taken from a rotating shaft without resorting to the use of slip rings, then the new Model 1700 Series transducers from RDP Electronics provide a cost effective solution. The comparatively low cost, non-contact, amplified, torque transducer uses a combination of optical and inductive technologies, avoiding the use of slip rings where they are not appropriate.
DIN rail signal amplifiers are suitable for use with PLCs(19/04/2011)

PLCs typically have terminations for I/O from a number of control and measurement devices including signal input from LVDTs, strain gauges, load cells, pressure transducers and torque transducers. RDP Electronics' DR7 signal amplifiers can clip on to the DIN rail alongside the PLCs offering the benefit of short interconnecting cables and the ability to operate from the same 24V supply.
Cost-effective monitoring of roller gap separation(15/02/2011)

Measuring the gap between rollers, or checking parallelism to close tolerances is a measurement task that can be achieved using RDP Electronics' E725 digital indicator in combination with a pair of LVDTs. Thanks to the E725’s capability to accept inputs from two separate transducers - in this case LVDTs of the same type and range - the indicator can be set to display individual readings, the average of both, or to check the difference to determine how parallel the rollers are.
LVDTs for shock and vibration test rigs(14/01/2011)

Linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTs) from RDP Electronics are inherently robust and durable enough to meet the rigours of testing in situations generating vibration or shock. Thanks to the rugged LVDT technology they have a high cycle life, excellent accuracy and repeatability with the added advantage of being an absolute device with infinite resolution.
