Eddy-Current Probe Scaling & Gap Voltage Validation

This probe generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field at its 11 mm tip to detect changes in physical distance to a conductive metal target. To achieve the standard eddy-current probe scaling of 3.94 V/mm (100 mV/mil), the probe must be coupled to a calibrated 11 mm Proximitor sensor through a matching 3300 XL extension cable. System calibration requires gap voltage validation during installation. Technicians must physically adjust the probe position until the DC bias voltage output measures -10 VDC, which corresponds to the linear range center. This step is critical for tracking rotor dynamics and maintaining cross-talk suppression between adjacent probe installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this 330709 probe be calibrated or used with an 8 mm Proximitor sensor?

A: No. Connecting this 11 mm tip probe to an 8 mm Proximitor sensor causes a mismatch in system impedance, which shifts the linear calibration envelope and results in incorrect measurements.

Q: Does the coaxial ClickLoc connector require any specific isolation?

A: Yes. The coaxial connection must remain electrically isolated from the machine housing. Standard installation requires the use of connector protector sleeves to prevent ground loops and signal corruption.

Field Installation Guidelines

  • Mechanical Mounting Torque: Manually thread the M16 x 1.5 probe into the mount to ensure correct thread engagement. Tighten the locknuts to standard specification, ensuring not to exceed the mechanical limits to prevent coil deformation.
  • Physical Gap Calibration: Connect a voltmeter to the Proximitor sensor output and slowly rotate the probe body into its mounting thread. Stop rotation and secure the locknut when the multimeter registers -10.0 VDC.
  • Cable Routing Constraints: Route the 1.0-meter coaxial cable through protective conduit or trays. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) to prevent internal coaxial copper damage and signal degradation.
