The Metrix Low Pressure cable seals are designed to prevent oil wicking around proximity probe sensors in rotating equipment. Oil wicking is a common issue that can cause sensor malfunction or contamination, especially in environments where oil is present.
These seals feature a grommet that creates a secure, oil-tight seal around the cable, effectively blocking oil from traveling along the cable and reaching the sensor area. This grommet also offers adjustability, allowing users to reposition the cable without compromising the integrity of the seal, which is useful for fine-tuning the sensor position as needed.
This setup is particularly beneficial in high-performance and high-reliability machinery, where protecting proximity sensors from oil contamination is critical for accurate readings and consistent performance.
