Wherever industrial machinery operates within an accuracy of microns, you'll find Novotechnik at work. Novotechnik position sensors enable bullet trains to smoothly round curves at high speed, and fly- and drive- by-wire for jets and cars respectively. They are used to maintain constant speed in packaging machines and for precise positioning of injection pins and dosing cylinders in injection molding machines. You'll find them in mobile and medical equipment, in machine tools, in laboratories – in any application where accuracy, repeatability and reliability are paramount.

Novotechnik - The Technique of being better

Novotechnik introduced the potentiometer into the general machine engineering sector in the 1950s. Since then, the company developed technology used in position transducers and rotary and linear potentiometers that set the standard with outstanding linearity and reliability over an extended operating life.

Today, Novotechnik has developed new technologies that are raising the standard, bringing a new level of linearity and reliability to non-contacting applications. These include NOVOSTRICTIVE® magnetostrictive technology, Indres® PsP™, Vert-X® and DyMoS™.

An international sensor and transducer manufacturing company, Novotechnik's US operations are headquartered in Southborough, Massachusetts while the Automotive Division is located in Livonia, Michigan. The company develops and produces a wide variety of rotary, and linear position sensors using contacting and non-contacting technologies for a wide range of motion control applications in the automotive, machine engineering, plastics, medical equipment, hydraulic, pneumatic, medical products and control industries.

Novotechnik is world wide certified as one of the first companies to achieve the ISO/TS 16949 certification. This complies with the requirements of the automobile industry - VDA 6.1, QS9000, EAQF, AVSQ - regarding quality management systems.
