NewTek LVDT position sensors serves as long-life replacements for failing potentiometers

April 20, 2022 By Mike Santora

LVDT Repeatability & No Drift

NewTek Pre-calibrated Linear Position Sensors serve as long-term replacements for potentiometers (pots) that become unreliable over time due to their contacting operation and effects from vibration and other environmental parameters. As potentiometers rely on mechanical contact to provide position feedback, components wear out and are affected by heat, vibration, and humidity, making output progressively noisier […]

NewTek LVDT position sensors on Vibroseis trucks

March 18, 2022 By Mike Santora

LVDT On Vibroesis Trucks - Oil and Gas Survey

Seismic surveys are a popular non-invasive method used by exploration companies to search for oil and gas below the Earth’s surface. The testing is conducted with vibroseis trucks that deliver a low-frequency vibration from a seismic vibrator using a base plate that impacts the earth. With every sweep, outgoing vibration signals from the trucks impact […]
