• Radial Vibration: Used to indicate bearing condition and detect machine malfunctions such as rotor imbalance and misalignment.

• Axial Thrust Position: Monitors thrust bearing wear or potential bearing failure by measuring axial position.

• Shaft Average Radial Position: Determines the attitude angle, which serves as an indicator of rotor stability.

• Vibration Amplitude & Phase Angle: Collects diagnostic information for analysis in Polar and Bode formats.

• Eccentricity: Measures the amount of rotor bow in rotating machinery.

Functions

Non-Contact Displacement Tracking: Utilizes eddy current principles to map static and dynamic micro-distances between the probe face and rotating target paths.

Radial Vibration Identification: Senses structural shaft oscillations to expose underlying mechanical faults like component unbalance and coupling misalignment.

Thrust Position Log Monitoring: tracks axial shaft movement profiles to actively diagnose thrust bearing degradation before a catastrophic breakdown occurs.

Rotor Stability Evaluation: Collects continuous metrics on average radial shaft position to accurately plot rotor attitude angles under varying load shifts.

Installation & Troubleshooting FAQ

Q1: What are the primary frequency response limits for this 7200 series proximity transducer system?
A: This proximity transducer system maintains a flat frequency response profile spanning from 0 Hz (DC) up to 10 kHz (0 to 600,000 cpm). At the top 10 kHz operating threshold, the output curve exhibits a minor signal attenuation limit of approximately -5%.

Q2: My diagnostic software reports severe scaling errors and a nonlinear voltage curve. What could be the issue?
A: This is commonly caused by an alloy mismatch or tracking a non-ferrous surface. The standard scale factor of 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm) is explicitly calibrated using a premium AISI 4140 steel target. If the shaft track is manufactured from a alternative steel specification or retains localized surface magnetization, it will distort the eddy current loops and compromise sensitivity.

Q3: How resilient is this unarmored probe assembly when exposed to hazardous chemicals on a process deck?
A: The 8mm probe tip is molded from high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) plastic, offering robust environmental sealing. Direct splash contact with chemical compounds such as MEK, DMF, ammonium hydroxide, lube oil, or a 10% sulfuric acid solution will not degrade the active tip or short the embedded eddy current wiring paths.
