New shaft protected position sensors

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the LWX-003/004 Series of position sensors designed for extremely harsh environments. The all-metal sensor shaft features a pressure equalization valve and the LWX-004 version also provides rod protection over its range of motion with an SS304 alloy, 0.9 mm thick stainless steel shield. The LWX Series’ differential pressure compensation system compensates for […]

A user’s guide to sensors and switches

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

Users have an array of choices when it comes to choosing sensors for electromechanical actuators. Some actuator manufactures offer one or two varieties of sensors as standard options, depending on the construction of the actuator and its most common uses, while others leave the selection entirely to the user. Whether you’re choosing among the options […]
