(NewTek: Pennsauken, NJ) -- NewTek’s vented M-375 series of linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) is widely used in hydraulic cylinders to precisely measure position and monitor the position of pistons. This capability helps prevent piston overextension or underextension, ensuring safe and high-precision operation.

In industrial automation applications, these miniature AC-operated sensors provide essential feedback on cylinder positions, facilitating accurate control in manufacturing lines and injection-molding machines. In power plants, the LVDTs enable precise movement of hydraulic cylinders that manage various gates and valves throughout the facility.

Also, vented LVDTs are employed in hydraulic actuators used on drilling equipment for oil and gas exploration for monitoring ground deformation during extraction. They are used in materials-testing applications within test chambers to measure deformation of samples, and in geological and asphalt/concrete testing to evaluate deformation resistance.
