4. Technical Specifications

5. Product Description

The 330103‑12‑23‑05‑02‑00 operates on eddy current principles, generating an electromagnetic field at the probe tip that varies with proximity to the conductive shaft surface. The analog voltage output is proportional to the shaft displacement.

The 230 mm case length allows installation in deep machinery housings, while the 5 m coaxial cable provides flexibility for routing to monitoring electronics located away from high-vibration zones. The 12 mm probe tip ensures high-fidelity signals, and the industrial locking connector (02‑00) guarantees secure mechanical and electrical engagement.

The probe is IP67 rated, resistant to dust, moisture, and oil, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

6. Applications

• Steam turbines — monitoring radial and axial rotor movement to prevent rubbing and bearing damage.
• Gas turbines — continuous vibration and displacement monitoring.
• Compressors — early detection of shaft imbalance and misalignment.
• Industrial pumps — vibration and displacement measurement under load.
• Large electric motors — ensuring shaft position accuracy for predictive maintenance.
• Gearboxes and reduction drives — monitoring shaft dynamics and vibration.

Applications support condition-based maintenance, machinery protection, and predictive diagnostics.

7. Product Advantages

• High Signal Accuracy — 12 mm probe tip provides strong, stable output.
• Non-Contact Operation — eliminates wear and reduces maintenance.
• Deep Mounting Capability — 230 mm case for larger or obstructed installations.
• Extended Cable — 5 m coaxial cable allows remote electronics placement.
• Secure Connector — industrial locking connector ensures signal reliability.
• Rugged Design — IP67 rated for harsh industrial conditions.
