Abstract:
A linear inductive transducer comprising:electric windings including a first primary winding, and a pair of secondary windings, a magnetic core, for performing linear displacements relative to the electric windings, a pair of input terminals electrically connected to said first primary winding and adapted for being electrically connected to a power supply unit, at least one output terminal electrically connected to said electric windings, the transducer being adapted for providing, through the output terminal, an electric signal indicative of the mutual position between said electric windings and said magnetic corc, wherein the electric windings include a second primary winding between said first primary winding and one of said input terminals, said first and second primary windings being electrically connected to each other and to said pair of secondary windings, said electric signal including a first and a second component, indicative of the mutual position between the magnetic core and said primary windings and said secondary windings, respectively.
