Technical FAQs
Q1: What is the main purpose of this probe?
It continuously measures shaft vibration and shaft position without physically contacting moving components.
Q2: What does NSv stand for?
NSv stands for Narrow Side View, which minimizes sensitivity to nearby metal structures during installation.
Q3: Is this model suitable for small machinery?
Yes. The NSv series was specifically developed for compact rotating equipment and confined installation spaces.
Q4: What does the "22" designation indicate?
It identifies a 2.2-inch unthreaded probe length configuration.
Q5: What does the "40" code represent?
It refers to a 4.0-inch overall probe case length.
Q6: What cable length is supplied?
This configuration includes a 1.0-meter integrated cable assembly.
Q7: Can components from different systems be mixed?
No. Probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor components must always be properly matched. Experienced technicians emphasize that NSv systems are not universally interchangeable.
