hello all!

Does anybody have any idea how i get get a transfer function for a Linear Variable Differential Transfromer (LVDT).

I thought about generating a differential equation to model the LVDT and then taking the laplace transform of this. My problem is: I am really stuggling to model the system with a diff eq - does anynody have an idea where i should start.
Please help.

Thank you
John
