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 […]

LVDT Position Sensors handle extreme pressures, high/low cryogenic temperatures
NewTek offers a customized version of its high-temperature LVDT position sensor for material testing in environments with extreme pressures and high/low cryogenic temperatures. Configured to operate in temperatures exceeding 1000°F (538°C), the NT-HT-1000 Linear Displacement Sensor is used for materials testing in autoclaves and material deformation testing in labs and nuclear applications. Available in configurations […]
Right-angle LVDTs work in environments with contaminants and tight spaces
Newtek offers right-angle versions of its LVDT position sensors that provide highly accurate linear displacement feedback in dirty environments containing sawdust, dirt, and grease that can contaminate conventional linear position sensors. These right angle LVDTs offer ongoing reliability amid flying sawdust, chunks of wood, grease, and caustic materials found within the pulp and paper mills, […]
NewTek LVDT Position Sensors survive in temps to 1000° F and pressures to 3000 PSI
The HT-1000 LVDT Position Sensor from NewTek Sensor Solutions operates in environments with extreme temperatures such as those found in power plants, test laboratories, engine control systems, stream turbines, gas turbines, furnaces and even nuclear reactors. Constructed with a 1-in. diameter stainless-steel housing, the HT-1000 LVDTs offer a 1000° F (538° C) continuous operating temperature […]
Signal conditioner handles digital/analog comm for AC-LVDTs, RVDT, or LVRT half-bridge sensors
The NewTek NTC-6000 Qwik-Cal LVDT Signal Conditioner completes the measurement system for AC-operated LVDTs by providing the excitation and digital output required by many of today’s laboratory, industrial automation, and process control applications. Without internal electronics, AC-LVDTs can operate in extreme environments but require the NTC-6000 Signal Conditioner to convert position feedback into readable output […]
Hermetically-sealed LVDTs serve as OEM replacements for steam turbine systems
NewTek HAR Series of Hermetically-Sealed Linear Position Sensors provide critical position measurement in the monitoring and control of steam turbine valves in power plants. Ideal for power plant rehabilitation programs, these AC-operated LVDTs serve as OEM replacements for legacy applications, offering the same fit, function, and reliability as original units. Gas turbines use various valves […]
NewTek spring-loaded LVDTs
NewTek Spring-Loaded LVDTs are used for surface measurement of paper, rubber, paneling, and other materials as part of quality control processes in sawmill, wood processing, paneling, rubber, and automotive production plants. Outfitted with precision wheels and other accessories for active monitoring of materials along a line or conveyor, the Spring-Loaded Gage Heads are mounted at […]
NewTek spring-loaded LVDTs ensure automotive part quality
NewTek Spring-Loaded LVDTs ensure tight tolerances of automotive parts and sub-components in automated production lines. Serving as part of the quality control process, the Spring-Loaded Gage Heads measure the tolerance of specific points of a part when placed in a test stand after leaving the casting or machining area of a production line. In this high-cycle […]
