The non-contact pick-up probe is an encapsulated wire configuration that reads the relative position of the equipment by introducing eddy currents into the target material and measuring the change in the current as the target surface moves. The energy loss into the target increases or decreases as the target moves nearer to or farther away from the probe. The change in energy loss is detected as a change in the modulated signal, which provides a voltage proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target. This signal is fed to the monitoring system, providing a continuous and very accurate measure of the relative distance to the target surface.The tip diameter characterizes the probe. In general, the wider the tip, the greater the range that the probe can sense. Select other characteristics, such as the body length and the thread size, based on the application
