Andrew Miller –
We installed this proximity transducer on a turbine-driven pump used in refinery operations. The product arrived brand new and matched the datasheet exactly. Output was accurate immediately after installation, and no recalibration was needed. OilTech Controls provided responsive support and ensured fast delivery to minimize downtime. This transducer has been operating reliably under continuous load and elevated temperatures. Overall, both the product and service exceeded expectations.
