Chris Jones, Managing Director at Micro-Epsilon UK comments: “The eddyNCDT 3005 sets new standards in terms of eddy current displacement measurement. The complete conditioning electronics has been miniaturised and mounted into a compact cylindrical housing, integrated into the sensor cable, one metre from the sensor head. Having the electronics remote from the sensor enables more compact sensor dimensions and higher operating temperatures, compared to sensors with integrated electronics.”
“With a very competitive pricing structure, the system can be supplied from stock in lower quantities. Equally, for higher volume applications, the system can be modified to suit individual OEM requirements. We expect to see interest from a wide range of companies that need to measure vibration, shaft runout, concentricity, gap, tip timing, eccentricity, oil film thickness and position, to micrometre level accuracies,” adds Jones.
High temperature version
Pressure, dirt, oil and high temperatures have almost no influence on measurement precision. The eddyNCDT 3005 has temperature-compensated electronics, which provides high measurement stability (0.05% FSO) even in high or fluctuating ambient temperatures. The sensors are designed for ambient temperatures up to a maximum of 125°C but the series also includes an optional, high temperature version for up to 180°C. The eddyNCDT 3005 controller, cable and sensor are pressure-resistant up to 10 bar.
The eddyNCDT 3005 is factory-calibrated for both ferrous and non-ferromagnetic materials, which eliminates the need for any onsite calibration. The robust IP67 sensor design, combined with the true eddy current measuring principle, enables measurements in harsh industrial environments (oil, pressure, dirt, dust), as well as for some offshore and marine applications (saltwater-resistant) due to its stainless steel construction.
A range of sensors are available with measuring ranges from 1mm up to 6mm for use on steel or aluminium measuring objects. Frequency response is 5kHz (-3dB) and temperature compensation range is from 10°C to +125°C.
