Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
It is a net linear displacement span of 8 mm at approximately 0.6–8.6 mm target distance from the probe. It uses eddy-current measurement against conductive material, with DC to 10 kHz at −3 dB.
It requires a probe with integrated cable and a matching od15x driver; a separate connection cable is added according to system length. The black colour code identifies the range family, but component and configuration codes must also match.
Documented nominal system lengths are 5 or 10 m. Select probe cable and connection cable together for the matching total system length; do not add a generic cable without checking the configuration.
No. Sensitivity error and deviation from the reference line are specified by system length and temperature. Calibration data refer to 42CrMo4, so also check the actual shaft material.
No. The probe is documented IP68 for 2 hours at 10 bar, while the driver is IP20. Following storage or operation below −30 °C, the probe protection is reduced to IP65 under the specification footnote.
