NEW PROXIMITY PROBE SYSTEM WITH UNIVERSAL DRIVER
Condition monitoring specialists SENSONICS have introduced a new range of proximity sensors suitable for measuring shaft vibration, position and speed on rotating plant. Building on their established Senturion proximity probe range, the new series offers a configurable universal driver suitable for all probe cable combinations and offers new features including a separate socket for gap voltage monitoring.
Proximity probe systems are made up of a calibrated probe, extension cable and driver. Utilising the eddy current principle, this combination forms a tuned circuit with the target material and variations in probe face to target distance are detected in this circuit by the driver. This provides a linearised voltage output proportional to target gap with a nominal sensitivity of 7.87mV/um. This type of measurement system provides highly accurate (resolution typically less than one micro-meter) vibration and relative positional measurements, for harsh environments up to 180°C.
The new probe range from Sensonics offers several improvements including:-
Switch selectable system cable lengths 5m, 7m and 9m.
LED indication of selected length.
3.5mm socket for gap voltage monitoring.
Double screened cable for high noise immunity.
Snap lock and shake proof cable connection.
Low profile driver for easy local integration to machine (Din rail mount opt).
Excellent repeatability on replacement of either probe, extension or driver.
Technology : eddy current
Shape : cylindrical
