Expert Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does the “armor” protect?

The armor protects the cable exiting the probe case and the connector. It guards against crushing, abrasion, and accidental impact in tough plant environments.

What is the purpose of the 1.6-inch unthreaded section?

It lets you pass the probe through a thick mounting bracket, isolator, or cooling shroud before the threaded section engages the final tap hole.

Is the connector protector necessary?

Highly recommended in high-vibration, wet, or dusty areas. It prevents accidental disconnection, keeps out contaminants, and improves long-term reliability.

Can this probe monitor shaft vibration inside a gearbox?

Yes. Its armored construction and wide temperature range make it suitable for harsh internal environments like gearboxes.

How do I select the right probe length for my machine?

The critical dimension is from the probe tip to the mounting surface (e.g., bearing housing). Contact us with machine drawings or photos for accurate selection help.
