In the realm of rotating machinery protection, this sensor stands as a benchmark for eddy-current technology. It serves as the primary physical interface for non-contact vibration monitoring, translating the gap between the probe tip and a conductive target into a highly linear electrical signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to operate in the most challenging industrial environments, this model offers exceptional stability across a wide temperature range. It is the preferred choice for instrumentation engineers who require reliable data for calculating shaft centerline movement, radial vibration, and axial thrust position. With its robust polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) sensing tip and AISI stainless steel housing, the 330104 series ensures consistent performance even when submerged in high-pressure lubricating oil or exposed to aggressive process vapors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr
