MULTI-VIT: MULTI-PURPOSE VARIABLE IMPEDANCE TRANSDUCER

Kaman Instrumentation's Multi-VIT displacement measuring system, the KD-2300, is a noncontact linear proximity measuring system. This easy-to-use system makes precision static and dynamic measurements for product design, fabrication, process control, and inspection of metal objects. It replaces LVDTs, air gauges, dial indicators, and micrometers.

The system includes a sensor, cable, and signal conditioning electronics package. Zero, gain, and linearity adjustments are provided on the electronics package. The output voltage of the system is proportional to the distance between the face of the sensor and any metallic (conductive) target.

Depending upon the system, the standard cable length may be increased in increments of 5 feet (1.55 m) up to a maximum of 30 feet (91.5 m) on a special order basis. If special sensor designs or improved system performance is required, then the KDM-8200 series is recommended.

Certain internal components in the KD-2300 family precisely match the signal conditioning electronics to a specific sensor and cable. To change the sensor size and/or cable length, Kaman must change these internal components. For those qualified users wanting to do this conversion on their own, Kaman provides a Bridge Completion Module. Contact for the type of sensor/cable conversion you wish to make.
