  • Page 5: Description

    Section 1 - DESCRIPTION 1. DESCRIPTION GENERAL The DC-LVDT (LVDT) transducer used with Bently Nevada Corporation (BNC) instruments provides a linear dc output voltage over a specific range of core movement. This output, connected to the BNC Case Expansion Indicator, is used to measure the expansion of a machine case as operating conditions vary.

  • Page 7 Section 1 - DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION A functional block diagram of the LVDT internal circuitry is shown in Figure 1-1. The 24 Vdc supply power is connected to LVDT lead wires. This voltage drives an oscillator to produce an alternating current. The alternating current is applied to the primary of the differential transformer.

    Section 2 - INSTALLATION 2. INSTALLATION RECEIVING INSPECTION Visually inspect exterior and interior to determine if any shipping damage has occurred. (Figures A-2, A-3, and A-4 illustrate the fasteners that retain the housing cover.) If shipping damage is apparent, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to BNC.
  • Page 10 DC-LVDT/Housing Assembly Model 19045, 19046, 19047 Installation Manual MECHANICAL LINKAGE The maehine-LVDT linkage design is determined by the user. A typical case expansion measurement linkage is illustrated in Figure 2-1. In general, linkage design should conform to the following guidelines.
  • Page 11 Section 2 - INSTALLATION LVDT MOUNTING Generally, configurations for the LVDT installations will vary; however, for all installations, brackets or other structural members used to mount the LVDT assembly must be rigid. If the bracket is flexible, undesireable relative motion between the LVDT and observed machine part may result.
  • Page 12 DC-LVDT/Housing Assembly Model 19045, 19046, 19047 Installation Manual POWER AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS Connections between the LVDT and the instrument signal module are shown on the interconnect diagram contained in the instrument manual. Cabling is generally fabricated at the user s facility, unless a specific request is made to have BNC supply it.
  • Page 13 Section 2 - INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENT Adjustment requires measuring the LVDT output with the linkage set at the zero- expansion point. Perform all adjustments as accurately as possible. The user may construct a gaging tool, if desired, to aid in accurately adjusting the LVDT core position during calibration.

    Section 3 - MAINTENANCE 3. MAINTENANCE GENERAL It is recommended that the user schedule inspections according to the environment in which the transducer operates and the likelihood of wear or damage. TROUBLESHOOTING The following troubleshooting procedure verifies proper LVDT performance. This procedure should be followed in the order given.

    DC-LVDT/Housing Assembly Model 19045, 19046, 19047 Installation Manual 4. RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS Bently Nevada Corporation recommends that at least one of each type LVDT transducer used in the instrument system be kept on hand as a spare. The recommended spare parts for field maintenance are listed below. If the instrument system is located in a remote area or is used on an extremely critical application, several spares may be desired.
