NewTek manufactures custom linear position sensing units in multiple strokes, sizes and materials designed for operation in harsh environments with temperatures up to 200 °C.
Unlike magnetostrictive position sensors and other electronic sensing technologies that rely on integrated electronics that can degrade under prolonged heat, NewTek AC-operated LVDTs contain no internal microelectronics at the sensing element. This design reduces thermal drift, avoids the need for extensive shielding and cooling, improves performance under sustained high temperatures and simplifies mechanical installation.
NewTek NTC LVDT signal conditioners power and process signals from AC-LVDTs that operate in high-temperature zones. The external signal conditioner demodulates the low-amplitude AC output and converts it to DC voltage, current or digital output for meters, PLCs and other control systems. Keeping sensitive electronics outside the hot zone supports long-term reliability and stable operation.
Customization for specific needs
Applications vary, so NewTek offers configurable high-temperature position sensors with mounting options, compact housings, multiple stroke lengths and sizes and high-temperature-resistant materials and construction. Each unit can be specified to match the project’s environment, mechanical constraints and performance requirements.
