The 991-25-70-01-CN is a 2-wire, loop-powered thrust transmitter designed to provide a proportional 4 to 20 mA axial displacement signal for rotating machinery monitoring applications. It accepts input from a 3300 NSv proximity probe and matching extension cable, then conditions the signal into engineering units proportional to shaft axial position for machinery control and protection systems.
The 991 Thrust Transmitter integrates the Proximitor Sensor within the transmitter housing, eliminating the need for an external unit. It provides non-isolated PROX OUT and COM outputs for dynamic vibration and gap voltage diagnostics, supporting machinery analysis and troubleshooting.
The transmitter is suitable for centrifugal air compressors, pumps, motors, and fans where compact installation space and continuous thrust position indication are required. Compatibility with the 3300 NSv proximity probe allows installation in small clearance areas typical of centrifugal compressor systems.
