These variations are converted into electrical signals representing shaft displacement and vibration conditions.
The working process includes:
- Generating an electromagnetic sensing field.
- Detecting changes in shaft-to-probe distance.
- Converting displacement variations into electrical signals.
- Transmitting monitoring data to control systems.
- Supporting machinery condition evaluation.
