Linear range: 1.52 mm (60 mils), from 0.25 to 1.78 mm (10 to 70 mils)

Incremental Scale Factor (ISF): 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±6.5%

These parameters ensure accurate and repeatable measurements in harsh environments.

Industry Applications

The 146054-08-10-00-00 excels in monitoring vibration and position of rotating shafts in turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. Its ceramic tip withstands high temperatures and pressures, making it suitable for steam turbines and gas compressors. By providing early warning of shaft misalignment or bearing wear, this probe helps prevent catastrophic failures and reduces maintenance costs.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the probe with the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a suitable mounting block. Ensure the probe tip is positioned within the linear range (0.25 to 1.78 mm from the target). Use the specified coaxial cable (75 Ω, FEP insulated) and maintain proper grounding. Calibrate the system with an AISI 4140 steel target for optimal accuracy.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for damage. Keep the probe tip clean and free of debris. The stainless steel case and ceramic tip resist corrosion and wear, extending service life. Follow manufacturer guidelines for routine checks to ensure consistent performance.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 146054-08-10-00-00, verify your system requirements: probe length (1.0 meter), thread size (3/8-24 UNF), and connector type (none).
