Speed Monitoring
Eddy Current Proximity Probes
 |
  Senonics robust range of eddy current proximity probes for non-contact vibration and displacement monitoring are designed to comply with the API 670 standard enabling compatibility with other manufacturers equipment. The core applications for this transducer is monitoring shaft expansion, relative vibration and speed on a range of rotating machinery from turbines to pumps and compressors. Sensonics proximity probes are available in either straight or disc mounting configurations and can be supplied with a range of adjustable bracketry. Highly reliable and available in intrinsically safe (ATEX) variants, a summary of these vibration and displacement monitoring sensors is detailed below. |

Overspeed Protection
 |
Sensonics Overspeed Protection instrumentation offers a high integrity monitoring system for the safe shutdown of critical rotating plant in the event of an Overspeed situation. Speed Monitoring is an essential activity on most turbines and steam driven pumps where a failure in the control system can result in costly rotor and bearing damage. This in conjunction with lengthy downtimes associated with such repairs drives the requirement for high integrity Overspeed Protection systems. In addition to providing shutdown through Speed Monitoring an important parameter of the system is the spurious trip performance. The 2 out of 3 voted configuration utilised in the Sensonics Overspeed Protection system virtually eliminates the spurious trip scenario in conjunction with a SIL-3 rating to IEC 61508. |

Speed Monitoring
 |
Sensonics speed monitoring systems offer accurate detection of overspeed and zero speed events for the protection of critical rotating machines such as turbines, pumps, etc. The monitors are capable of working with a range of speed sensors and include fault detection circuitry to offer a high integrity speed monitoring solution. |
