FAQ

1. What exactly is a proximity probe?
A proximity probe is a non-contact sensor that uses eddy-current principles to measure the distance between the probe tip and a conductive

target (usually a shaft). This enables detection of shaft vibration, displacement, and position without physical contact.

2. What does the “8 mm” refer to in this model?
The 8 mm designation refers to the probe tip diameter, which determines the sensing element’s size and contributes to

 ruggedness and sensing range in industrial applications.

3. How does this probe connect to the monitoring system?
The probe uses miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connectors (or other connector types based on exact

configuration) that mate with extension cables and Proximitor sensors, ensuring

secure and vibration-resistant connections.
