Non-contact vibration eddy current sensors

CWY-DO series eddy current sensor introduction

The eddy current sensor is a non-contact measurement sensor that accurately measures the relative position of the measured body (which must be a metal conductor) to the end face of the probe, with the voltage signal output by the sensor being proportional to the distance between the end of the probe and the measured conductor. It is capable of both static (displacement) and dynamic (vibration) measurements. It is mainly used for the measurement of shaft displacement, shaft vibration, shaft speed and other parameters of rotating machinery, which can effectively monitor and protect the equipment.

Principle of sensor operation

The high frequency oscillation circuit in the preamplifier generates a high frequency signal which is sent through the cable to the coil at the end of the probe, generating an alternating magnetic field at the end of the probe, which generates an induced current (eddy current) on the metal surface when the measured metal body is close to this field. The amplitude and phase of the high-frequency current in the head coil is changed (the effective impedance Z of the coil is changed) due to its counteraction. The change in the coil impedance Z, i.e. the change in the distance D between the head coil and the metal conductor, is then transformed into a voltage or current output signal through the processing of the preamplifier's electrical conditioning circuit, thus enabling the measurement of displacement, vibration and other parameters.


Components of the sensor

Eddy current sensor consists of three parts: probe, extension cable and preamplifier.


Probe

The probe consists of a coil, protective cover, stainless steel housing, coaxial cable,high frequency connector, etc. Depending on the measuring range,different diameters of the probe can be selected, e.g. Φ5mm, Φ8mm, Φ11mm,Φ18mm, Φ25mm, and depending on the installation requirements,different mounting methods can be selected, e.g. front-mounted, reverse-mounted,non-threaded, and depending on the installation conditions, the length of the probe cable can be selected, e.g. 1m or 0.5m.

Depending on the installation conditions, the cable length can be selected, e.g. 1m or 0.5m.

Preamplifier

The preamplifier is the core part of the system, which includes the oscillation,linearity detection, filtering, linearity compensation and amplification circuits of the entire sensor system. The VB-Z98 preamplifier is divided into Φ5mm, Φ8mm, Φ11mm, Φ18mm and Φ25mm according to the diameter of the probe to be used.

Extension Cable

Both ends of the extension cable are equipped with SMA self-locking connectors with oil-proof heat-shrinkable sleeves to protect the connection between the self-locking plug and the cable from contamination by oily media and to increase system reliability. Extension cable lengths are available in 4m, 4.5m, 8m and 8.5m.

Note: Requires probe cable length + extension cable length = 5m or 9m.
