THRUST POSITION MONITOR SYSTEM (AXIAL) 7200
Displacement axial measurements
The working principle, the rotation of the rotor shaft, will cause movement of the shaft either positive or negative direction from the neutral / middle. The motion was detected by probe type and eddy currenr proximitor generating output
electrical signal which is proportional to the distance between the probe shaft. Or observe the surface of the rotor.
Monitor changer proximitor to generate any output readings recorder position thrus and dc output signal proportional to the position of thrust. With the movement towards positive or negative shaft Which one will mengobah Thrus to individual dc signal level. DC level is then received by Indicator (Front panel meters), Recorder Driver Circuit. Alarm circuit can be adjusted by adjusting the set point, alarm indicator lights and signal relay alerts to be received. To keep from happening malfuntion or malfunctions then to make sure whether there is danger or not before the shutdown, then used AND logic, where if there is danger of a second transducer signal there will be a shutdown, if it happens one channel failure will not hear the alarm false.
12:17 captions, Proximitor merobah -24 Volt -18 Volt DC or DC to RF signal that is sent to the probe through a 95 ohm extension cable that causes alternating magnetic field. If there is no conductive material is cut, the magnetic field, there is no loss of power in the RF signal. With no power is lost in the RF signal, the output signal will approach proximitor -22 Volt DC (-24 Volt DC power supply).

As the picture below is the theory of the Axial displacement measurement.
12:18 Picture Diagram Probe Thrust with Proximitor
Caption 12:18, When a conductive material (rotor shaft) approaching probe, eddy currents will be generated as the magnetic field is intersected by a conductive material (rotor shaft), which will result in loss of RF signal power or voltage will be reduced as well (directly proportional). When the surface of conductive material (rotor shaft) perilously close to the probe, the more power is absorbed through the eddy currents on the surface of the conductor material. When the probe is very close to the surface of conductive material (rotor shaft), then the maximum power is lost from the RF signal will be shown as the minimum output signal of proximitor. Proximitor will measure the amount of RF signal and is shown as a negative DC output signal, selanjudnya through an amplifier circuit. The monitor will show the amount of Axial Displacement happens as read on the meter.
12.3.2 Procedure setting of Axial Displacement and Radial Vibration.
12:18 Picture Position Probe against Thrust coller
Before we do the settings for the Axial Displacement, it first has to consider the following steps:
1. Determine the gap / clearance between the thrust collar and thrust bearing. for example: 0.32 mm.
2. Scale factor of proximitor must be known.
For example: have a scale factor proximitor 200mv/mils.
If the requirements are met prior to setting, then:
a. Move the rotor shaft to travel the maximum position on the dial reads micro meter by 0.32 mm, according to the calculations for the 0.32 mm gap = volts DC.
Given: proximitor scale factor 200 mV / mils.
1 = 25.4 mils (microns)
1 = 0.001 mm
1 mils = 25.4 x = 25.4 mm
1 mils = 200 mv
X 25.4 mm = 200 mV.
= 7.87 volts DC.
So: 0.32 mm = 0.32 x 7.87 Vdc = 2.5 Volts DC.
b. It is known from the calibration curve and proximitor probe.
eg: Voltage gap setting = 10 volts DC.
So the position of the shaft can be pushed to the maximum positive or negative travel, or when the voltage = 10 V
c. next when the rotor shaft is driven in the direction of travel set maximum positive Axial probe in such a way that a digital volt meter attached to the output terminals and the common proximitor reads 12.5 volts DC.
d. When the rotor shaft is driven in the direction of maximum negative trevel Axial probe set such that the digital volt meter attached to the output terminals and the common proximitor read 7.5 volts DC.
e. Selanjudnya observe on the monitor when the rotor shaft is driven trevel maximum positive or negative, the reading will symetris +0.16 mm and -0.16 mm to zero.
Caption 12:19, As with Radial Dual Vibration Monitor, so here also serves to change the monitor output signal to position proximitor thrust / axial monitor.
* If under normal conditions, the thrust position indicated:
- The meter 1.
- Indication lights OK "on" 2.
- Indication lights defeat, alart and danger "off" 3, 4 and 5.
* If the danger set AB switch is placed to the normal position, it will read normal danger point.
* If the danger set AB switch is placed to the normal position, it will read normal danger point.
* If alart set AB switch is placed to the normal position / counter, it will read normal alert set point / counter.
* To determine the output signal can be measured through proximitor proximitor A / B connector on the monitor.
* Defeat toggle switch is used to by-pass him one channel A / B when something is broken.
