General Purpose - AC Operation
Columbia Research Laboratories
The S Series LVDT's are Columbia's general purpose line of LVDTs. They are designed to sense linear displacement over the ranges of +/-0.04" to +/-0.30" and translate this motion into a precisely proportional voltage for measurement and control.

Integrated
Columbia Research Laboratories
Columbia's Integrated Accelerometers are completely self-contained vibration measuring systems having a built-in amplifier within the housing. Low output impedance allows operation directly into standard readout equipment without auxiliary signal conditioning. This type of accelerometer must be powered by a constant current power supply like Columbia's model 5421.

Accelerometers
Columbia Research Laboratories
The force balance accelerometer has a classical critically-damped, second-order frequency response. There is no peaking in the response but simply a smooth roll-off above the natural frequency. This property along with the excellent characteristics of the "HP" torquer design makes Columbia accelerometers the best choice for demanding applications where precise DC and near-DC measurements are needed in demanding shock and wide band vibration environments. Columbia force balance accelerometers are available to cover virtually all applications. Low noise, high output units can be used for seismic structure motion studies while miniature, high range versions are optimum for measuring more violent high G environments encountered in many industrial, aircraft and missile applications.
