/24-7PressRelease/ - PENNSAUKEN, NJ, June 09, 2007 - Siemens-Westinghouse and GE implement the LVDTs and LVRTs, respectively, for position measurement on governor valves, throttle valves, reheat/stop valves, interceptor valves, and many other control valves.

In addition to offering exact replacement LVDTs and LVRTs that are form, fit, function equivalents with the same electrical and mechanical specifications as Westinghouse and GE stock units, Macro Sensors manufactures exact replacement Power Generation LVDTs that match other manufacturer designs, but at greater cost savings and availability. Units are available in a variety of configurations including:

· Hermetically sealed AC and DC-operated LVDTs with axial or radial connectors.
· UL/ULC- Listed AC operated LVDTs approved for operation in Class 1, Division 2 and Class Zone 2 hazardous locations
· Double-shielded and epoxy encapsulated AC-operated LVDTs that withstand high shock and vibration levels.
Macro Sensors also provides non-standard and custom-designed units for OEMS and system integrators. An online catalog of Power Generation Position Sensors that work with existing OEM control systems and updated retrofitted controls can be downloaded from Macro Sensors' web site at http://www.macrosensors.com/lvdt_macro_sensors/lvdt_applications/powergen_sensors.pdf.
