Industry = Electronics

Press Release Summary = Macro Sensors, (www.macrosensors.com), a sensor company
specializing in the manufacture of LVDT-based linear position sensors and gaging
probes, offers a broad range of Linear Variable Differential Transducers (LVDTs)
linear position sensors in various configurations and outputs to satisfy the
requirements of both current and legacy turbine installations.

Press Release Body = The Company 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. The Company currently manufactures exact replacement LVDTs that
are form, fit, and function equivalents with the same electrical and mechanical
specifications as Westinghouse stock units. The LVDTs are implemented for position
measurement on governor valves, throttle valves, reheat/stop valves, interceptor
valves, and many other control valves.
