Overview

The Predictech TM0180 series probes are eddy current proximity sensors designed for vibration and shaft position monitoring in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating machinery.

The TM0180-A07-B00-C02-D05 configuration specifies probe dimensions, cable type, and connector style, featuring a 7 mm unthreaded length, 30 mm case, and 0.5 m cable with connector type D05. This makes it ideal for installations requiring a compact design and reliable signal transmission.

Engineered for predictive maintenance programs, it enables early detection of imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and thrust issues.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Radial vibration monitoring to detect rotor imbalance and bearing wear

• Axial thrust position measurement for thrust bearing condition monitoring

• Shaft position monitoring to evaluate rotor alignment and stability

• Eccentricity measurement during turbine startup to detect shaft bow

• Predictive maintenance programs in power generation, oil & gas, and petrochemical industries
