Vented linear position sensors for measuring hydraulic 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 […]
Vented LVDT sensors available in ranges from ±0.025″ to ±2.0″
NewTek offers a vented design for its miniaturized series of AC-operated position sensors that provide greater endurance to pressure, temperature, shock, and vibration. These attributes result in greater accuracy and the ability to fit into restrictive spaces when measuring the deformation of samples in test chambers for hydraulics and material testing applications. In geologic […]

Custom designs of legacy/discontinued sensors
NewTek custom designs linear position sensors for companies that can no longer source replacement LVDTs from original suppliers. As LVDT manufacturers discontinue specific lines of position sensors or no longer offer small volumes of custom LVDTs, companies find it hard or even impossible to get replacements. NewTek offers a solution by bringing back to life […]
Intrinsically-safe LVDTs for hazardous and explosive environments
NewTek introduces the NT-HL-750 series of Intrinsically-Safe LVDT Position Sensors, which are approved for use in hazardous and explosive environments. These displacement sensors are designed to operate safely and accurately in hostile and corrosive environments where flammable or ignitable gases and liquids are present. The hazardous location position sensors are ideal for providing position […]
LVDT signal conditioner configures in just minutes
NewTek’s smart NTC-6000 Signal Conditioner takes out the complexity of setting up a signal processing system while protecting against operating failures and cybersecurity hacks. Both intuitive and user-friendly, the NTC-6000 Quik-Cal supports AC-operated LVDT, RVDT, or LVRT half-bridge sensors in converting unconditioned position feedback into a choice of voltage, current and digital outputs including 4-20mA, 0-5V, […]
Air extend/spring retract gage head sensors avoid damage between inspection readings
NewTek GAR Series Spring-loaded Gage Heads are used in automated dimensional gaging applications as part of inline inspection processes when it is ideal for the sensor probe to move out of the way between readings. The probes of these LVDTs extend when taking dimensional measurements, then retract to their original position to avoid damage to […]
NewTek AC-LVDTs serve as reliable alternatives to magnetostrictive sensors in power generation applications
NewTek AC-operated LVDT Position Sensors often serve as a more reliable, precise, and cost-effective alternative to magnetostrictive linear position sensors in the monitoring and control of valves in power generation and hydroelectrical stations. Because power generation environments can reach temperatures of 250° C (475° F), magnetostrictive technology might fail or become inaccurate over time. While […]
NewTek designs 100th custom position sensor with vented body
NewTek recently designed its 100th custom LVDT Position Sensors with a vented body and modified lead lengths to address the unique operating specifications for a downhole drilling application. Venting NewTek’s NT-R High-Temperature Sensor ensured reliable performance in a downhole drilling tool that operated in a high-shock environment with pressures up to 10,000 psi and temperatures […]
