How the PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer Assembly Works
The Bently Nevada PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer uses eddy current technology to detect vibrations and positional changes in rotating machinery. A high-frequency oscillator generates an electromagnetic field through its probe. When the target surface moves, eddy currents shift, altering the field’s amplitude. This change converts into voltage signals for precise displacement measurement. The system ensures real-time monitoring of shaft dynamics, critical for predictive maintenance.
