TE Connectivity (TE), with Regional Headquarters in Pennsylvania, has announced the new HLIR 750 series intrinsically safe, 4-20 mA LVDT position sensors that are CSA listed for use in hazardous locations, and where an intrinsically safe sensor is required. With stainless steel construction and a hermetically-sealed sensor body, these LVDT position sensors provide reliable contactless position measurement for critical applications in gas turbines for fuel valve position feedback, vane pitch servo controls, governor controls, and generator shell expansion measurement.
Units are also suited for throttle position sensing on engine-driven compressors in natural gas pumping stations, height measurement for head boxes and slicers in paper mills, edge detectors and web tension controls in plastic film plants, and real-time position sensing for all types of valves in chemical process plants.
