LVDT Accelerometer (Measurement of Acceleration) :


The LVDT accelerometer consists of one primary winding and two secondary
windings having an equal number of turns. Between the primary and two
secondary windings, a core is placed which acts as a sensing mass. This core is
connected to the housing of the accelerometer by means of two flexible reeds.

When the acceleration to be measured is applied, vibrational displacement of


core takes place due to which differential output voltage will be produced (at the
output of LVDT). This output voltage gives the measure of acceleration.

Working of LVDT Accelerometer:


The accelerometer is attached to the object whose acceleration is to be
measured. In the presence of acceleration, the vibrational displacement of the
core occurs. Depending on acceleration the core moves up and down with
respect to two secondaries.

Therefore, a differential output voltage will be generated at the output terminals.


The magnitude of induced voltage (i.e., the differential output voltage of two
secondaries) is proportional to the displacement of core and hence, gives the
amplitude of vibration (i.e., acceleration).
Advantages of LVDT Accelerometer:
 They have good resolution.
 They offer very low resistance to the displacement of sensors compared to
potentiometers.
 They can be used to measure high-frequency vibrations.
