Abstract

This paper presents the procedure for determining the upper bound on absolute error (UBAE) for linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) sensors without inter-winding capacitance. This procedure is based on the results of a parametric identification of the sensor, from which the coefficient values of the corresponding transfer function are obtained. The UBAE is then determined by a simulation experiment using dedicated computational software. The error value and the shape of the input signal, which is constrained in magnitude, are determined. The calculations and additional validation of the procedure presented in this article are carried out using the MathCad 5.0 program. As the basis for the proposed procedure, we review issues related to the modelling of LVDT sensors without inter-winding capacitance. The solutions presented here can be used to determine the UBAE, which can then be used to assess the accuracy of these types of sensor and their mutual comparability in terms of dynamic accuracy.
