LVDT stands for Linear Variable Differential Transformer, the device is constructed of a primary coil, one or two secondary coils, a ferromagnetic core (or slug), a tube or bobbin, a shield and a shaft. The ferromagnetic core is attached to a moving object and moves in a linear motion within the...

Here at Variohm we can supply a wide range of load cells for weighing. All of our load cells are high quality, industrial and come from some of the world’s leading manufacturers.  Load cells are the heart of the weighing system. A load cell is an electrical instrument which converts...

Our SIL 2 Pressure Sensor is constructed of high quality stainless steel for use in measurement of gases or liquids. Suitable Industries for SIL 2 Pressure Sensors  SIL2 Pressure sensors can be used in many applications but are most well used within the following...

The resistance of a strain gauge changes when force is applied and this change will give a different electrical output. Strain gauges use this method to measure pressure, force, weight and tension. When external forces are applied to a stationary object there are two forces present; stress and...

The numerical reference (100 or 1000) pertains to the sensor’s Ohmic value at 0°C. When to use a PT100 and PT1000 A Pt1000 has a much higher resistance level therefore the distorting effect of the resistance in the lead wires will be less significant overall as it contributes to a...

In recent years our business model/capabilities have changed and been enhanced, so we are now designing and manufacturing more products than ever before. The Development of our Custom Sensors Our engineering department devote time to designing and building new products based on the feedback...
