NewTek AC-LVDTs serve as reliable alternatives to magnetostrictive sensors in power generation applications

June 29, 2023 By Heather Hall

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 sensors ensure vibroseis trucks perform accurate seismic surveys

March 17, 2022 By Heather Hall

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 […]
