The DN8033 thrust and rod drop transmitter (photo) is designed to measure shaft axial or rod position of a range of rotating equipment. The 4–20-mA loop-powered module provides easy integration with either the local machine PLC or a plant-wide DCS since it is powered through the measurement loop. The unit operates in conjunction with the company’s Senturian range of 8-mm-dia. proximity probes, offering a maximum measurement range of ±1 mm. The DIN rail-mountable unit provides two miniature multi-turn potentiometers for the setting of the gain and zero point parameters. — Sensonics Ltd., Berkhamsted, U.K.
