Schreiber Linear LVDT Sensor SM21 Series Ø 10 mm PCD 20.0 mm

Passive Inductive | Range 5 to 20 mm | Stainless Steel Housing Ø 10 mm | Infinite Resolution | IP68 | PCD 20.0 mm | External Analog Output

The Schreiber SM21 Series displacement transducer constitutes the foundational standard in LVDT technology Miniature for dimensional measurement and position control in the automation industry. Manufactured with a cylindrical body of stainless steel and NiFe alloy. 10 mm in diameter, Its architecture is based on a purely analog, passive electromagnetic half-bridge principle. Lacking integrated circuitry, the SM21 is inherently entitled to a EMI immunity In total, this ensures a noise-free metric reading even when mounted next to high-voltage lines or CNC servomotors.

For its usability in pneumatic and mechanical applications, this probe is firmly assembled with clamps approved to a metric size of PCD 20.0 mm, acting fluidly as a drop-in replacement for test load cells and metrology benches. It is considered one of the linear position sensors The most versatile in the German line, as it fully transfers 4-20mA, 0-10V or ±10V conditioning to the dynamic external DIN rail modules (SM10 or SM12 series). Withstanding impact loads of 250 g SRS and offering IP68 protection in its vulcanized terminations, the SM21 is synonymous with high-speed volumetric capture. Request a 3D plan or quote here.
