Industry Applications
In a steam turbine train, the probe mounts into a 3/8-24 threaded hole to sense shaft displacement. The 200 mV/mil scale factor provides high-resolution data for trend analysis, enabling early detection of bearing wear or imbalance. The probe's corrosion resistance to lube oil and water makes it suitable for harsh environments like compressor stations.

Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 21505-04-48-10-02, ensure the probe face is clean and the mounting surface is free of debris. The unthreaded length of 40 mm allows for proper insertion depth. Use the miniature male coaxial connector to attach the extension cable, and verify the total length of 1.0 metre meets the routing requirements. The power supply must be -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Calibrate the system to achieve the ±4% scale factor accuracy.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or corrosion. The stainless steel lead armor protects against mechanical wear. The probe's temperature range of -30°F to +350°F ensures reliable operation in high-heat environments. Check the connector for tightness to prevent signal loss. The system weight of 1.3 lbs. simplifies handling during replacement.
