One of the major civil engineering firms is working with Novotechnik's IH5003 inclinometer that is employed in a warning system.

Two IH5003 inclinometers in a tube were installed at every three meters, one is used... (read more)

Plastics Applications - Shaping the Future

Plastics manufacturing is no longer confined to the manufacture of small parts. Plastics are being used to make automobile doors and bumpers, to house computer systems and appliances. Some of these applications require molds that weigh up to 100,000 lbs. and clamp forces of 200 tons. And, as many plastic manufacturers are ... (read more)

At 200 MPH There Is No Margin For Error

Why settle for less in your passenger or commercial vehicles? Novotechnik sensors are critical to the success of top Formula One, CART, Indy Racing League, and World Rally Championship teams. They choose Novotechnik because they are "ultra reliable". (read more)

Many applications require rotation counters that can measure angles greater than 360º. However the low-cost 10-turn potentiometers most design engineers are familiar with can't always meet user requirements for resolution and reliability. As an alternative, optical absolute encoders are too expensive for many applications. (read more)

New VERT-X E Series – Touchless Vertical Hall sensors for rotary angle measurement

• Touchless technology
• 13 to 37mm diameters
• Resolution to 14-bits
• Repeatability ≤ 0.1 degrees
• Eight available output options

Novotechnik's RFC 4000 Series rotary sensors combine touchless technology and small form factor. The sensor's touchless technology utilizes the orientation of a magnetic field in order to determine measurement angle. This makes the sensor ideal for applications that require mounting flexibility or transmissive measurements through air or non-magnetic materials. RF (read more)

Southborough, MA – Novotechnik's SP 5000 Series rotary position sensors feature easy mounting and availability of custom angles. The customization combined with design for harsh environments make these sensors well suited for many industrial and vehicle applications.

A new generation of touchless position sensors solves a number of new problems while simplifying existing on-line control applications by providing design engineers with an opportunity to reduce implementation and maintenance costs. This technology can solve problems from measuring through materials to existing shaft alignment issues. (read more)

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 ... (read more)

Special ships, tugboats, cable laying ships, and ferries are equipped with rudder-propeller drivers in order to improve maneuverability.

Function:
These rudder-propeller drives rotate a full 360° so that a thrust can occur in any direction. In a multi-drive system, a satellite navigation system and a computer can be used to achieve a synchronized and independent ... (read more)

The microprocessor controlled pitch regulation ensures continuous and optimal adjustment of the angles of the blades in relation to the prevailing wind.
The pitch mechanism is fitted in the blade hub and contains a separate hydraulic pitch cylinder for each blade. These separate cylinders also ensure triple braking safety, because one feathered blade is sufficient to stop the turbine. (read more)
