Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330780-52-00 sensor operates using eddy current proximity sensing technology, which enables precise measurement of shaft vibration and position without physical contact.

Working principle:

• The probe generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field
• When a conductive target approaches the probe, eddy currents are induced
• These eddy currents modify the electromagnetic field
• The system converts this change into an electrical signal proportional to displacement

This method ensures highly accurate, real-time monitoring while eliminating mechanical wear and extending sensor lifespan.
