It’s time to rethink vibration monitoring.
Are you still relying on traditional proximity probes that are costly to install and difficult to access for data analysis?
Hydro’s Centaur now integrates an innovative wireless proximity probe solution — combining proven sensor technology with modern advancements to give you real-time, actionable insights into your rotating equipment’s health.
The problem:
Proximity probes provide a unique value for vibration monitoring in certain applications and situations. However, expense relative to installation and limitations in the access to data make these systems costly and resource intensive.
While the advent of wireless condition monitoring has shifted the industry towards accelerometer use, proximity probe systems have been largely unchanged and don’t take advantage of technological advances.
A new solution:
Hydro’s proximity probe solution seamlessly integrates with the Centaur web-based software platform. This cost-effective and easy-to-deploy system is designed to eliminate data silos and provide a comprehensive view of asset health, enabling you to respond to potential problems faster and more effectively.
Hydro’s innovative approach combines traditional proximity probe sensors with advanced wireless technology that captures and transmits a complete time-waveform every two minutes. This feature allows analysts to access trend, waveform, spectral, and orbit data in near real-time. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of the midstream, refining, power, and chemical industries, their system is available in both NEMA 4 and NEMA 7X configurations, ensuring robust performance in various environments.
