The 2601 Series Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) displacement transducers are measuring devices that measure the displacement of the load frames. They are best suited for situations where measuring strain on the specimen is difficult or impossible and can be used on compression and tensile tests. LVDT’s are preferred to crosshead extension readings because they eliminate errors due to frame and fixture compliance. They feature an LVDT as the active element and are designed for use on both electromechanical and hydraulic testing systems.

The E-Series strain displacement deflectometers are often used for measuring deflection in 3 and 4 point bend tests, compression tests, and a variety of general test deflection measurements. The unit includes a magnetic base for easy mounting and a standard 25 pin connector.
