Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) incorporated within cylinder of hydraulic actuator gives precise readout of position of piston relative to cylinder. LVDT contained completely within actuator. System requires precise positioning and position readout for computer control of model motions. Minimal space available for motion cylinders, and precise, continuous position readout (with no steps or pulses) required. Device provides continuous and accurate position indication of a hydraulic cylinder by means of integral, coaxially mounted LVDT.
