Product Summary
The 171CBU98090 is a high-performance proximity probe designed for precise displacement measurement in demanding industrial environments. This sensor delivers reliable non-contact sensing for critical machinery monitoring and control applications.
Core Technical Specifications & Parameters
The 171CBU98090 proximity probe operates with a standard sensitivity of 7.87 mV/mil (310 mV/mm) for accurate displacement readings. This sensor features a linear measurement range spanning from 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm (10 mils to 90 mils) to accommodate various gap settings. The probe offers a frequency response of 0 to 10 kHz for capturing dynamic motion events effectively. Operating temperature range extends from -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +350°F) for harsh environment compatibility. The unit provides excellent linearity within ±1.0% of full-scale range for consistent measurement accuracy. Resolution capability reaches 0.1 µm for detecting minute shaft displacements. The sensor incorporates advanced noise immunity circuitry to reject electrical interference in industrial settings. Environmental sealing meets IP68 standards for protection against dust and water ingress. The probe tip diameter measures 5 mm for installation in confined machine spaces. Output signal format is standard voltage proportional to target distance for easy integration with control systems.
Professional Installation & Wiring Guidelines
Begin installation by verifying the target surface is clean and free from magnetic debris or irregularities. Mount the 171CBU98090 probe using the specified threaded hole with proper torque application to avoid thread damage. Ensure the probe face is perpendicular to the target surface within 1 degree for optimal linearity. Connect the coaxial cable to the driver module using the provided connector while maintaining proper strain relief. Set the initial gap voltage according to the system calibration requirements for your specific application. Verify that the probe tip does not contact the rotating shaft during operation to prevent mechanical damage. Route the sensor cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference. Perform a static calibration check after installation to confirm the measurement system accuracy. Secure all cable connections with appropriate locking mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.
