Proximity probes fully integrated for improved reliability

08 December, 2017

Proximity probes play an important role in machine shaft vibration, position and speed measurements, providing operators critical information on the rotating plant dynamic performance and bearing condition. Sensonics comments that the sensors are cost effective and easy to install as there is no driver, extension cable or associated driver housing; so capital and installation costs can be kept to a minimum.

Utilising the same 8mm diameter tip as per API670 proximity probes, the case body is available in the standard M10 and 3/8” UNF variants providing an easy retrofit option.

There is no need for system matching, ensuring the right driver, extension cable and probe are assembled on the machine. The PRI is available in a standard 10m cable for direct termination to the connecting equipment or a local junction box.

As there is one probe for all machine measurement points there is no requirement to stock variants of extension cables and drivers.

PRI probes are claimed to be ideal for OEM applications as they offer a similar performance to existing systems on the market, but with all of the above advantages.
