High-Precision Automated LVDT Calibration Platform SYCL500

Micron-Level Accuracy, Fully Closed-Loop Control, and Digital Calibration Solution

Product Description

1. Product Overview
The SYCL500 is a high-precision, custom-engineered calibration platform designed for LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers) and other high-precision contact displacement sensors. The system is centered on the L501 motorized linear drive unit, integrated with a high-resolution linear encoder, and combined with a precision mechanical transmission and closed-loop motion control. This configuration enables fully automated sensor calibration, linearity verification, and repeatability testing.
Compared with conventional manual calibration devices, the SYCL500 offers a 200 mm travel range, 0.1 μm displacement resolution, and ±0.2 μm bidirectional repeatability, along with superior coaxial stability. The platform meets the stringent micro-displacement measurement and control requirements of research laboratories, precision manufacturing, and metrology laboratories, providing a highly traceable displacement reference standard.

2. Key Advantages
A. Ultra-High Positioning Accuracy & Wide-Range Calibration

  • 0.1 μm displacement resolution with ±0.2 μm bidirectional repeatability, providing a highly reliable and traceable micron-level displacement reference.
  • 200 mm effective travel range, covering full-scale calibration for long-stroke LVDTs and inductive probes.
B. Coaxial Clamping Design to Eliminate Systematic Offset
  • Dual L-shaped aluminum plates combined with a three-jaw chuck provide precision sensor mounting, achieving coaxiality within 0.01 mm.
  • Post-clamping coaxiality ≤0.05 mm effectively eliminates nonlinearity and mechanical offset during calibration.
C. Universal Adaptability with Tool-Free Fixture Adjustment
  • Adjustable chuck clamping range accommodates sensors with diameters ≤48 mm and strokes ≤200 mm.
  • Multi-purpose design improves calibration efficiency and consistency across multiple sensor models, reducing fixture replacement costs.
D. High-Rigidity Architecture for Zero-Hysteresis Transmission
  • Drive unit is precisely anchored to a high-flatness aluminum base via positioning pins, ensuring long-term assembly stability.
  • High-rigidity mechanical framework guarantees displacement transmission without deformation, hysteresis, or lag, ensuring calibration data authenticity and repeatability.
E. Closed-Loop Servo Control & Automated DAQ Software
  • High-performance stepper motor closed-loop control delivers high-resolution and high-dynamic-response displacement actuation.
  • Automation software supports pre-programmed step sizes, loop counts, and scanning sequences, automatically executing data acquisition, linearity analysis, hysteresis evaluation, and sensitivity calculation, and generating traceable calibration reports.
  • Digital data storage and export capabilities provide comprehensive measurement and control records for R&D and production purposes.
