PCH Proximity Probes / Eddy Current Probes

Proximity probes – or displacement sensors – are non-contact transducers used to monitor shaft movement, i.e. the vibration levels of a machine.

The proximity probes are suitable for a variety of applications such as the shaft location of sleeve bearing machines, the monitoring of thrust bearing wear, vibration measurements, thermal expansion and more.

Description

We offer a range API 670 proximity probes with varying tip diameters, which can be used with our PCH Proximity Monitors or any other brand of vibration monitors.

The proximity probes are available with the following tip diameters: Ø5, Ø8, Ø11, Ø25

Calibration of Your Proximity Probes

Each oscillator is calibrated against a steel target, typically 42CrMo4(DIN 1.7225), and delivered with a calibration certificate.

The actual sensitivity can be adjusted in PCH Proximity Monitors following an onsite validation.

If the material differs considerably from EN/DIN 1.7225, special calibration of the oscillator can be provided; the same applies to stainless steel EN/DIN 1.4462.
