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…
NewTek enhances large-bore LVDT sensor capabilities
NewTek Sensor Solutions is expanding its capacity to customize large-bore LVDT position sensors for applications where standard or small-bore sensors do not meet performance, durability, or measurement range requirements. These sensors are designed for systems with large moving components, high mechanical loads, or harsh environmental conditions. NewTek’s large-bore LVDTs are often used with isolation tubes…
Vented linear position sensors offer accurate and precise cylinder displacement
NewTek vented M-375 series of linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) are widely used in hydraulic cylinders to precisely measure position and monitor the position of pistons. This capability helps prevent piston over-extension or under-extension, ensuring safe and high-precision operation. In industrial automation applications, these miniature AC-operated sensors provide essential feedback on cylinder positions, facilitating accurate…
Position Sensors endure extended 400°F temperatures and spikes
NewTek Sensor Solutions offers several LVDTs with an extended 400°F temperature range for use in applications where temperature spikes are possible. The high-temp, AC-operated position transducers ensure reliable position measurement without failure in applications with fluctuating temperatures where standard-temperature sensors can fail, due to deteriorating insulation and intermittent connections. For example, standard-temperature position sensors used…
Miniature linear position sensors operate reliably in high-pressure hydraulics
The operating environments of many hydraulic and materials testing systems require linear position sensors that operate reliably under continuous high pressures and temperatures while fitting into restrictive spaces. NewTek Sensor Solutions, Pennsauken, N.J., offers vented versions of its M-375 miniature LVDT linear position sensors specially designed to provide the highest level of reliability and accuracy under […]
