The new Elesa DD51 and DD52 direct drive digital position indicators are four and five digit sealed case units in a technopolymer housing which is ultrasonically welded making them ideal for shaft drive position readouts in industrial environments. This aspect has now been further enhanced by the availability of an additional front seal to prevent ingress of dust in arduous conditions, and of stainless steel reduction sleeves. Reduction sleeves allow the shaft size accommodated to go from 14mm down to 6mm in the DD51 and from 20mm to 12mm in the DD52. A legible readout is provided by four reading positions which may be specified to suit the orientation dependant on such factors as horizontal or vertical shaft fitment. A clear magnifying lens also aids this feature.
