Application in Rotating Machinery Protection
This probe is designed for non-contact vibration and position measurement on critical assets like steam turbines, compressors, and pumps. The 2 mm linear range provides accurate data for radial vibration monitoring, while the PPS tip withstands high temperatures up to +177°C. The M10x1 metric thread simplifies installation in standard mounting holes.

Installation Guidance for Maintenance Teams
When installing, ensure the probe gap is set to the recommended -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration applications. Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned field wiring, and keep field wiring lengths under 305 meters (1,000 feet) to avoid signal roll-off. The probe case thread engagement should not exceed 15 mm.
Maintenance and Reliability Considerations
Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or wear. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton O-ring; contact the custom design department if pressure testing is required.
