(NewTek: Pennsauken, NJ) -- 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 from ± 0.100 in. (± 2.54 mm) to ± 1.0 in. (±25.4 mm), the linear position sensor has a 3,000 psi (207 bar) pressure rating. Units offer high sensitivity, high resolution, and excellent linearity of +0.5 percent of full range in the most rugged environments.

Constructed of special high-temperature materials, the customized AC-operated LVDT features a 1-in. diameter stainless-steel housing that protects coils from hostile media. A through-bore design gives access to ends of the unit’s core for better mechanical support, core guidance, and cleaning. Units provide a ratiometric output for reduced thermal error and stability over changing temperatures.
