This robust non-contacting sensor provides precise dynamic and static gap measurements, enabling operators to continuously evaluate the mechanical health of steam turbines, compressors, and high-pressure pumps. Constructed with a 3\/8-24 UNF thread pattern and a 5.5-inch case length, this probe integrates directly into standard machine casings without requiring protective armor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #1a365d;

When replacing older 3300 series non-XL 8 mm probes, ensure the entire system loop length is calculated. Mismatching system lengths (e.g., using a 0.5-meter probe with a 9-meter cable on a 5-meter calibrated proximitor) will cause severe calibration slope errors. Always match probe and extension cable combined length to the Proximitor's calibrated length (typically 5.0m or 9.0m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #2b6cb0; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"\u003eApplication Pitfalls \u0026amp; Engineering Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eMechanical interference can result if correct side clearance is not maintained during drilling and tapping. Ensure a minimum physical clearance of at least 1.5 times the probe tip diameter (12 mm) from any surrounding metal structure to avoid eddy-current side-loading. Side-loading artificially biases the sensor, shifting the baseline DC voltage and distorting the dynamic measurement range. Avoid exposure to hot concentrated acids, which can degrade the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #2b6cb0; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"\u003eCommissioning \u0026amp; Calibration Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eDuring initial installation, use a digital multimeter to measure the DC gap voltage at the Proximitor sensor's output terminal.
