FAQ
-
What measuring principle does the PR6424/013-030+CON021 operate on?
It uses the eddy current principle, generating an electromagnetic field that varies with conductive target displacement. -
What role does the CON021 converter play in this setup?
The CON021 conditions the raw sensor signal, linearizes it, and provides a standardized voltage output for monitoring systems. -
What is the typical frequency response of this sensor?
The frequency range is DC to 20 kHz, covering both static and dynamic displacement signals. -
How does the sensor achieve linearity across its measuring range?
The probe is factory-calibrated with the converter, ensuring linear response within ±1% error. -
Can this sensor monitor both radial and axial vibrations?
Yes, depending on installation, it can measure both radial shaft vibration and axial displacement. -
How does the sensor handle electromagnetic interference in industrial environments?
It uses shielded coaxial cables and optimized electronics to ensure high immunity against EMI and RFI. -
What kind of materials can this sensor measure effectively?
It is optimized for conductive materials such as steel shafts commonly found in rotating machinery. -
Is the sensor suitable for integration with third-party monitoring systems?
Yes, once conditioned by the CON021, the output signal is standardized and can be integrated into multiple monitoring platforms. -
What happens if the sensor operates outside its temperature limits?
Exceeding rated limits can lead to reduced accuracy or potential sensor degradation, so proper thermal management is recommended. -
Can the sensor detect transient vibration events in machinery?
Yes, with its wide frequency response, it is capable of capturing both steady-state and transient dynamic events.
