Eddy Current Displacement Sensor
Product Name:ML33 Eddy Current Displacement Sensor
Product Summary:

The principle of eddy current displacement sensor system is eddy current effect, which is a kind of inductive measurement principle. The eddy current effect results from the energy of the oscillating circuit. Eddy currents need to be in conductive materials to form. An alternating current is introduced into the coil inside the sensor probe to form a magnetic field around the coil. If a conductor is placed in this magnetic field, an eddy current will be excited in the conductor according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. According to Lenz's law, the magnetic field direction of the eddy current is opposite to the magnetic field of the coil, which will change the impedance value of the coil in the probe. The change of this impedance value is directly related to the distance between the coil and the object being measured. After the sensor probe is connected to the controller, the controller can obtain the change of voltage value from the sensor probe, and calculate the corresponding distance value based on this, and the eddy current measurement principle can measure all conductive materials.

I. Working principle of eddy current displacement sensor:

The principle of eddy current sensor system is eddy current effect, which is a kind of inductive measurement principle. The eddy current effect results from the energy of the oscillating circuit. Eddy currents need to be in conductive materials to form. An alternating current is introduced into the coil inside the sensor probe to form a magnetic field around the coil. If a conductor is placed in this magnetic field, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, eddy currents will be excited in the conductor. According to Lenz's law, the magnetic field direction of the eddy current is opposite to the magnetic field of the coil, which will change the impedance value of the coil in the probe. The change of this impedance value is directly related to the distance between the coil and the object being measured. After the sensor probe is connected to the controller, the controller can obtain the change of voltage value from the sensor probe, and calculate the corresponding distance value based on this, and the eddy current measurement principle can measure all conductive materials. Because the eddy current can penetrate the insulator, even the metal material whose surface is covered with the insulator can also be used as the measured object of the eddy current sensor. The unique coil winding design can not only achieve the compact shape of the sensor, but also meet the requirements of its operation in high temperature measurement environment.

 

II. the scope of application:

By measuring the relative position of the metal body and the probe end, the eddy current displacement sensor is induced and processed into the corresponding electrical signal output. Sensor can work reliably for a long time, high sensitivity, strong anti-interference ability, non-contact measurement, fast response speed is not affected by oil and water and other media, in large rotating machinery shaft displacement, shaft vibration, shaft speed and other parameters for long-term real-time monitoring is widely used. And it has been extended to satellite launch, material identification, weighing measurement, metal plate thickness measurement, material shape variables and other application fields.

System Operating Principle

 

The principle of sensor system is eddy current effect.When the power supply of the sensor system is connected, a high-frequency current signal will be generated in the preprocessor. This signal will be sent to the head of the probe through the cable. An alternating magnetic field H1 will be generated around the head. Conversely, If a metal conductor material is close to the head of the probe, the alternating magnetic field H 1 will generate an eddy current field on the surface of the conductor, which will also generate an alternating magnetic field H 2 in the opposite direction to H 1.As a result of the reaction of H 2, the amplitude and phase of the high-frequency current in the coil of the probe head will be changed, that is, the effective impedance of the coil will be changed.This change is related not only to the eddy current effect, but also to the magnetostatic effect, that is, to the conductivity of the metal conductor, the permeability, the geometric shape, the geometric parameters of the coil, the excitation current frequency and the distance between the coil and the metal conductor.The coil is assumed to be homogeneous and its properties are linear and isotropicThe physical properties of a metal conductor system are usually determined by the permeability of the metal conductor, the conductivity, the size factor r, the coil and theMetal conductor distance, coil excitation current intensity I and frequency and other parameters to describe. Therefore, the impedance of the coil can be expressed by the function Z=F(clock,,r,I,).If the control constant,, r,, I,, then impedance Z becomes the distance delta of the single-valued function, by maxwell's formula, this function can be obtained as a nonlinear function, its curve is the "S" curve, in a certain range can be approximated as a linear function.

 

 

★Application range of eddy current displacement sensor

Sensors can be long-term and reliable work, high sensitivity, strong anti-jamming capability, non-contact measurement, fast response speed degree, is not affected by water medium, in large rotating machinery shaft displacement, shaft vibration, parameters such as spindle speed is widely used for long-term real-time monitoring, and is extended when satellite launch, material identification, weighing, metal thickness measurement, application fields such as material shape variables.

Typical structure of probe

In the process of production, the probe head body is usually made of high temperature resistant PPS engineering plastic or high temperature resistant ptfe, and the coil is sealed by "secondary injection". Make the probe work reliably in harsh environment. Since the coil diameter of the head body determines the linear range of the sensor system, we usually use the external diameter of the head body to classify and characterize various types of probes. Generally, the linear range of the sensor system is roughly 1/2 ~ 1/4 of the diameter of the probe head.

● C Shell length selection

 

The length of the probe shell is determined according to the field usage. In order to ensure the measurement accuracy and avoid measurement interference caused by the probe rod's own vibration, it is recommended not to use a shell length of more than 300 mm. When it is necessary to use, a mounting attachment to enhance the probe rod strength should be attached.
