What are RVDTs?
A Rotary Variable Differential Transformer (RVDT) is an electromechanical transducer that provides a variable alternating current (AC) output voltage that is linearly proportional to the angluar displacement of its input shaft. When energized with a fixed AC source, the output signal is linear within a specified range over the angular displacement.
Typical Applications
- Flight control actuation / navigation
- Fuel control / valves
- Cockpit controls
- Nose wheel steering systems
- Missile fin actuation
