Product description
Observe the safety information in chapter "Safety"!
2.1
Basic function
The displacement sensor systems of the ds82x family are based on the non-contacting eddy current
measurement process. The distance is measured between the tip of the displacement sensor and an
electrically conductive surface and sent via a proportional voltage signal to a subsequent electronic
monitor. This records the status of the rotating shafts as a part of surveillance of the machine.
2.2
Components of the displacement sensor system
The eddy-current displacement sensor system consists of the components of displacement sensor
with an integrated cable, an optional separate extension cable and the driver (oscillator/demodulator).
The name of a component is a combination of the series name ds821 and the component designation
(
mc
= complete system,
ds
= displacement sensor,
ec
= extension cable or
od
= driver). Each series
is available in system lengths of 5 m, 10 m and 25 m.
