LVDT Instrument Package (Option)

The LVDT Instrument Package is appropriate for measuring any product displacement when load is applied. The LVDT Instrument Package consists of three (3) linear displacement sensors used on tests that apply loads for prolonged periods where tracking test object sag or other linear displacement measurements are required.

Typically used in the pallet testing industry, these sensors are placed vertically under the test item which is set on precision blocks. A load is applied and distributed evenly over the product utilizing a specially designed Emerson load bladder. The force is held on the product and the sag over time is measured under the product at three places. Forces applied may be programmed steps or a single force for a specified duration.

Other tests allow determination of overall load required to meet a specific deflection on the center displacement sensor, with all three sensors charting until conditions are met.

These sensors have a 2” displacement range and are very high resolution (0.0001”).

• Larger platen openings

If you have a specific testing or sample size requirement, Emerson Apparatus can customize any of its Compression Testers (from Model 2210 to Model 8510) to meet your platen size and platen opening requirements, as well as custom software and testing needs.

For example, in this modified 2210 compression tester (see picture), Emerson Apparatus designed and manufactured a 2,000-pound tester with a 13″ wide x 20″ deep x 16″ platen. It has all the capabilities of our standard Model 2210, but with a larger test area.

Emerson Apparatus engineers are experts at working with customers to design custom solutions for you. Contact us today to discuss your specific needs.
