Functional Features

• Non-Contact Measurement: Uses eddy current technology to measure gap changes between probe tip and rotating shaft without physical contact, eliminating wear and reducing maintenance.
• High Precision: Detects displacements as small as 0.25 μm (0.001 mil), enabling early fault detection in bearings, gears, and rotors.
• Wide Temperature Tolerance: Withstands extreme environments, including high-temperature zones near turbines and cryogenic applications.
• Robust Construction: Stainless steel probe housing and armor-clad extension cable resist corrosion, vibration, and mechanical damage.
• System Integration: Compatible with Bently 3500, 3300, and 1900 monitoring systems, as well as third-party PLC/DCS platforms via 4–20 mA outputs.
• Quick Installation: ClickLoc™ connector ensures secure, tool-free connection and disconnection.

Application Scenarios

• Power Generation: Monitors turbine shaft vibrations and axial displacements to prevent blade fractures, bearing failures, and unplanned outages.
• Oil & Gas: Detects compressor rotor movements for anti-surge control, optimizing efficiency and safety in upstream and downstream processes.
• Petrochemical: Measures pump and fan vibrations to avoid catastrophic failures from misalignment, imbalance, or cavitation.
• Steel & Metallurgy: Tracks rolling mill gearbox displacements for predictive maintenance of critical components under heavy loads.
• Marine Engineering: Monitors propeller shaft conditions in ships to ensure reliable operation in harsh seawater environments.
• Aerospace: Supports test cell applications for engine and rotor testing with high-temperature probe variants.
