The latest eddy current probes from Monitran, for non-contact vibration monitoring of pumps, have been designed to offer reliable AC or DC displacement measurement, with a 4-20mA output
In order to move the water and chemicals around the various plants, large numbers of motors, gearboxes, centrifuges and pumps are used in the processing of the water.
All of these need to be monitored for increasing vibration levels on bearings and drives so that Maintenance Engineers are aware of plant performance and can assess when efficient repair or replacement can be carried out.
Many of the Monitran vibration sensors have been designed to operate with reliability in the conditions of the water industries.
They offer stainless steel housings sealed up to IP68 and are available with waterproof cable connections and 4-20mA outputs for direct interfacing with PLC systems.
A choice of mechanical fittings are also available with different threaded studs, magnetic attachments and the 'Quick-Fit' adaptors.
