Technical FAQs

1. What does this probe measure?

It measures shaft vibration, shaft position, radial displacement, and related machinery condition parameters.

2. What does the "16" code indicate?

It specifies a 160 mm probe case length.

3. What does the "50" code indicate?

It specifies a 5.0 m (16.4 ft) total length.

4. What does the "12" code indicate?

It identifies a Miniature ClickLoc™ connector with FluidLoc® cable configuration.

5. What does the "RU" suffix mean?

It denotes a country-specific approval option, generally associated with Russian/EAC regional certification requirements.

6. What is the probe diameter?

The probe diameter is 8 mm.

7. What thread does the probe use?

It uses an M10 × 1 metric thread.

8. What materials are used?

The probe body is constructed from AISI 303/304 stainless steel, while the sensing tip uses PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide).

9. Is FluidLoc® cable beneficial?

Yes. FluidLoc® cable technology helps prevent oil and other liquids from migrating through the cable, improving reliability in harsh industrial environments.
