Hardware Specifications

Eddy-Current Probe Scaling & Gap Voltage Validation

The CON021 signal driver supplies high-frequency excitation energy to the PR6423 8 mm eddy-current tip, creating an electromagnetic field that detects microscopic surface variations on target rotors. Signal conditioning circuits execute eddy-current probe scaling to deliver an output sensitivity of 8 mV/um across a 10 kHz bandwidth. Setting up the system requires physical gap voltage validation during installation to center the probe tip within its linear measurement window, ensuring cross-talk suppression and accurate tracking of rotor dynamics without signal clipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What operating temperature limits can the PR6423 sensor head withstand in continuous operation?

A: The probe head is rated for operation across ambient conditions from -35 to +180 deg C.

Q: What measurement functions are supported by the CON021 and PR6423 combination?

A: The system provides radial shaft vibration measurement, axial position monitoring, phase/speed tracking, and gap voltage reference signals.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Mount the 8 mm stainless steel probe body securely using rigid brackets to eliminate mechanical resonance during machine operation.
• Adjust probe depth to verify that the DC gap voltage aligns with system calibration targets before tightening mounting locknuts.
• Maintain minimum clearance distance around the 8 mm tip face to prevent target side-wall interference from altering probe sensitivity.
• Route integrated coaxial signal cables inside grounded conduit, avoiding sharp bends to preserve high-frequency signal integrity to the CON021 driver.
