When to use a Proximity Sensor/Transmitter? How to use a Proximity Sensor? Proximity Transmitters? Definition of Proximity? Nearness in place, time, order, occurrence, or relation The region close around a person or thing Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are What is a Proximity Sensor? Detects presence of nearby objects without any physical contact Detects movement or the presence of an object and converts it to an electrical signal often emits an electromagnetic or electrostatic field and looks for changes in the field or return signal Electromagnetism Magnetism arising from electric charge in motion Electrostatic The charge build up that usually occurs because of electron imbalance at the surface of materials Types of Detection Systems Eddy Current or Inductive generated in metallic sensing objects by electromagnetic induction Capacitive systems that detect changes in electrical capacity when approaching the sensing object Magnetized systems that use magnets and reed switches Why use a Proximity Sensor? Because ProvibTech made it! Why use a Proximity Sensor? High Reliability Machine vibration monitoring Measure the variation in distance between a shaft and its support bearing Long functional life Absence of mechanical parts Lack of physical contact between sensor and the sensed object When to use a Proximity Sensor/ Transmitter If needing to measure the following: Radial vibration Axial thrust position/vibration Shaft radial position Vibration Amplitude and Phase Angle Eccentricity Phase Reference When to use a Proximity Sensor/ Transmitter Cont’d Radial Vibration Vibration in a direction perpendicular to the centerline of a shaft or rotor. Used for indicating bearing condition Measuring machine malfunction: Rotor imbalance Misalignment Shaft crack Potential bearing fail
