TQ412 111-412-000-013 Proximity Transducers
Description：
This proximity system allows contactless measurement of the relative displacement of moving machine elements. It is particularly suitable for measuring the relative vibration and axial position of rotating machine shafts, such as those found in steam, gas and hydraulic turbines, as well as in alternators, turbo-compressors and pumps. The system is based around a TQ402 or TQ412 non-contact transducer and an IQS450 signal conditioner. Together, these form a calibrated proximity system in which each component is interchangeable. The system outputs a voltage or current proportional to the distance between the transducer tip and the target, such as a machine shaft.
The active part of the transducer is a coil of wire that is moulded inside the tip of the device, made of Torlon ® (polyamide-imide). The transducer body is made of stainless steel. The target material must, in all cases, be metallic.
The transducer body is available with metric or imperial thread. The TQ412 version is intended for reverse-mount applications. The TQ402 / 412 has an integral coaxial cable, terminated with a self-locking miniature coaxial connector. Various cable lengths (integral and extension) can be ordered.
The IQS450 signal conditioner contains a highfrequency modulator / demodulator that supplies a
driving signal to the transducer. This generates the necessary electromagnetic field used to measure the gap. The conditioner circuitry is made of high-quality components and is mounted in an aluminium extrusion.
The TQ402 and TQ412 transducers can be matched with a single EA 402 extension cable to effectively lengthen the front-end. Optional housings, junction boxes and interconnection protectors are available for the mechanical and environmental protection of the connection between the integral and extension cables.
The proximity system can be powered by associated signal processing modules (for example, VM600
cards) or a rack power supply.
