Transducer specialists RDP Electronics can provide specially ruggedized, sealed sensors for use in manipulating radioactive substances. Applications such as robotic devices or handling equipment for radioactive waste in cooling ponds demand waterproof sensors with very high radiation resistance.

RDP Electronics Ltd, in conjunction with MTS are providing magnetostrictive displacement transducers for Bath University’s entry in the inaugural European International Submarine Races. The first time the event has been staged outside the USA, teams are challenged to build and race human-powered submarines which will test the engineering expertise and stamina of enterprising university students from three continents.

Although there are various options for measuring liquid level in a tank, RDP Electronics Ltd are able to provide an LVDT based solution that can often be used where other methods are inappropriate. Typically the LVDT is fitted with a weighted float and installed with the transducer directed vertically downward towards the liquid surface. This approach is often suitable where the liquid inside may form a foam on top, precluding the use of optical ...

Thanks to their ability to be immersed or flooded by non-corrosive and non-degrading oils often used in hydraulic systems, LVDTs from RDP Electronics Ltd are ideal for providing feedback for control valve positions.

For applications where measurements are to be taken from a rotating shaft without resorting to the use of slip rings, then the new Model 1700 Series transducers from RDP Electronics provide a cost effective solution.

New from RDP Electronics is a range of combined pressure and temperature sensors, the RST0170 Series, that will prove beneficial in a number of industrial and HVAC measurement applications.

RDP Electronics Ltd, sole distributor of MTS Industrial Series Temposonics transducers in the United Kingdom and Ireland, announce their new E Series range, bringing these high quality sensors into price contention with linear potentiometers for even basic applications.

Measurement specialists RDP Electronics Ltd are often called on to provide flanged or seal threaded versions of their Linear Variable Displacement Transformers (LVDTs) for displacement measurement in pressure vessels.

When load testing calls for a high number of repetitive cycles, such as material test machines or long-term structural tests in aviation or automotive research, then a common solution is to specify a fatigue rated load cell. Now RDP Electronics can usually offer an off-the-shelf alternative for rapid delivery.

Measuring the changes in the width of cracks that occur in civil structures and buildings can be accurately determined by the use of Linear Variable Displacement Transducers (LVDTs). This important diagnostic technique can provide data to help understand the cause and then action appropriate remedial work where needed.

Linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTs) from RDP Electronics Ltd are inherently robust and durable enough to meet the rigours of testing in situations generating vibration or shock.

Accurately measuring displacement in pressure test vessels demands robust, miniature transducers that are designed to withstand tough conditions. RDP Electronics Ltd offers several ranges of linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTs) that can withstand not only the pressures involved but where required submersion in water and oils – even combinations of pressure with high temperatures in some extreme cases.

Production applications often call for setting and checking torque in situations where a hand held device can prove invaluable. The Model 2133-300 Series Reaction Socket Torque Sensor from RDP’s Lebow range is a cost-effective sensor designed for torque wrench calibration applications. Suitable for production and assembly line use to set, measure and monitor torque of nuts, the sensor can be used in conjunction with conventional ratchet sets. ...

RDP Electronics Ltd's low profile DR7AC DIN rail mounted amplifiers are designed to provide excitation and signal amplification for LVDTs and a wide range of other inductive transducers. Compatible with most full bridge strain gauge transducers is the DR7DC strain gauge amplifier version.

With low output voltage from a transducer it is frequently essential to provide signal amplification close by to ensure good noise immunity. When this also happens to be in a wet environment then RDP Electronics Ltd's S7 amplifier series supplied in rugged die-cast aluminium housings with cable glands and seals rated to IP65 meet this environmental protection need and provides effective electrical screening.

Where data integrity is an essential requirement and space limited, then dual bridge load cells from transducer specialists RDP Electronics Ltd can offer an effective answer.

RDP Electronics Ltd already well known for their extensive ranges of pressure, displacement and load transducers also offer a fully approved factory calibration service for their transducers supplied with amplifiers.

Transducer solutions specialists RDP Electronics Ltd will be showing the latest developments in sensor technology on stand C22 at the Sensing Technology show.

Although commonly used for tension measurement, the RLT series load cells from RDP Electronics Ltd can also be used for compression measurement. Based on the well-proven S-beam configuration load is applied to the RLT transducer via the threads located on the top and bottom surfaces of the device to allow it to flex.

With the driest start to a year since 1929, monitoring falling reservoir levels assumes increased importance and can readily be accomplished using RDP transducers. Transducer specialists, RDP Electronics Ltd offer two main approaches for monitoring water levels either using transducers fitted with floats, or alternatively by using pressure transducers.
