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