The sensor converts these variations into electrical signals representing shaft movement and vibration conditions.
The working process includes:
- Generating an electromagnetic sensing field.
- Detecting changes in the shaft-to-probe gap.
- Converting mechanical displacement into electrical signals.
- Transmitting measurement data to monitoring systems.
- Supporting equipment condition evaluation.
The probe provides measurement functions including:
- Shaft vibration monitoring
