Technical Specifications Breakdown

• Probe: The sensor uses a 3300 series probe, either 5mm or 8mm in diameter.
• System Length: This measures the total length, including the probe and cabling.
• Scale Factor: This factor relates the sensor’s output voltage to displacement. For every 0.001 inches, the sensor’s output increases by 200 millivolts.
• Temperature Coefficient: It indicates how the sensor’s output changes with temperature. A higher coefficient means greater sensitivity to temperature changes.
• Supply Voltage: The sensor operates with a 24VDC supply voltage.

Applications

• Rotating Machinery Monitoring: The 170133-090-00 monitors vibration and displacement in rotating machinery components like bearings, shafts, and couplings.
• Early Failure Detection: By continuously monitoring parameters, the sensor detects early signs of wear, misalignment, or other potential issues.
• Predictive Maintenance: Data from the sensor supports predictive maintenance strategies, enabling planned maintenance and reducing unexpected downtime.
