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 […]

To ensure product consistency, quality, and adherence to federal and state standards, the molded parts are […]
Tiny, medical sensors feature large measurement range, accuracy, resistance to environmental effects
NewTek medical sensors withstand the effects of autoclave cycles used to sterilize medical equipment prior to surgical procedures or other medical uses. According to the Centers for Disease Control, steam sterilization, as accomplished in an autoclave, is the most widely used and dependable method of sanitizing critical medical equipment as a part of infection control. […]
New user-friendly signal conditioner pairs with signal processing system
NewTek Sensor Solutions offers the most advanced and user-friendly signal conditioner that pairs with AC-operated linear and rotary position sensors to deliver reliable feedback in DC voltage, current, and digital outputs for use in factory automation, materials testing, packaging, and dimensional gaging applications. Offering an intuitive set-up of AC-operated LVDTs and RVDTs in process control […]
NewTek LVDT position sensors serves as long-life replacements for failing potentiometers
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
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 […]
