🏭 Application Solutions

Engineered for continuous machinery health monitoring in power generation turbines, compressor trains, centrifugal pumps, motor-driven equipment, and high-speed rotating assemblies. The system excels in measuring shaft vibration, axial position, differential expansion, eccentricity, and dynamic runout across steam turbines, gas turbines, hydro generators, and critical process machinery where early fault detection prevents catastrophic failures.

💡 Performance Advantages

• ✅ Ultra-wide bandwidth captures transient events and high-frequency bearing defects
• ✅ Temperature-compensated electronics maintain accuracy across harsh environments
• ✅ Dual-output capability supports simultaneous PLC and DCS integration
• ✅ Self-diagnostic features with probe health monitoring and fault indication
• ✅ EMI/RFI immunity ensures reliable operation near VFDs and high-power equipment

🔧 Integration & Compatibility

Seamlessly interfaces with EPRO MMS6000 machinery monitoring systems, Bently Nevada 3500 series racks, and third-party vibration analyzers. Supports MODBUS RTU, 4-20mA analog, and relay output protocols for flexible integration with existing SCADA, DCS, and condition monitoring platforms. Compatible with ferromagnetic targets including carbon steel, stainless steel 400 series, and cast iron shafts.

📊 Measurement Capabilities

Delivers precision gap voltage measurement with automatic target material compensation, enabling accurate displacement tracking independent of shaft surface finish variations. Ideal for monitoring journal bearing clearances, thrust position, rotor eccentricity, and dynamic motion in both radial and axial orientations with resolution down to 1 micron.
