LCM-120

The LCM measures the electromagnetic force generated by moving charges, which is also referred to as the Lorentz force.

It has a wide range of application fields, primarily in the automotive, industrial, and engineering sectors. In automobiles, it is used for controlling the suspension, steering systems, and to test various other components such as the brakes and the clutch. In the industrial sector, it can be used in heavy machinery and air-conditioning systems, while in engineering it is immensely useful in the development and testing of advanced aerospace components.

Working Principle

The LCM’s working principle is quite simple. It works on the Lorenz force law, which states that a force is generated on an electric charge when it is moving through a magnetic field. This force is proportional to the charge, the velocity of the charge, and the intensity of the magnetic field. The device measures the force generated by the movement of current-carrying wires as they pass through the coils of an electromagnet. The force generated can then be measured either via the strain-based transducers or via the capacitive transducers.

The capacitive transducers measure the change in capacitance between a fixed plate and a movable plate. As the two plates move due to the Lorenz force, the capacitance between them changes accordingly. This change in capacitance can also be monitored by the LCM device.

Features

The LCM-120 is a reliable and flexible measuring system. It has a wide frequency range and is capable of measuring from 0Hz to 500kHz. It is accurate to within ±0.2%, and also has a high signal-to-noise ratio. It is also very easy to install and use, as the device can be connected directly to the coil or the transducer. It is also very simple to operate, as the device can be operated via a PC or the front panel.

Conclusion

The LCM-120 is an incredibly useful device in the industrial, automotive, and engineering sectors. It works on the Lorentz force law, and can measure changes in capacitance or strain, depending on the type of transducer used. It is also reliable and flexible, with a wide frequency range and excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Thus, it is ideal for a wide range of applications including testing, development, and engineering purposes.
