Proximity Probe Systems - Eddy Current-2

Senturion X PROXIMITY PROBES Designed for Reliability, Accuracy and Flexibility “The Senturion X range of proximity probe systems consist of a calibrated probe, extension cable and driver. Utilising the eddy current principle, this combination forms a tuned circuit with the target material and variations in probe face to target distance are detected in this circuit by the driver, providing a linearised voltage output proportional to target gap. This measurement system provides highly accurate (resolution typically less than one micro-meter) vibration and relative positional measurements, for...
