Application

Application

N/A Rotor gap measurement in the generator
The MD6-22 is used for commissioning and maintenance of generators. Inserted into the rotor gap, the flat sensors detect the distance.

Alignment of rollers
The MD6-22 is used to adjust rollers. Used in commissioning and service tasks, the double-sided flat sensor determines the roller gap.

Additional Information

N/A Mobile gap measurement at the highest precision

The capaNCDT MD6-22 gauge is a capacitive dual-channel handheld gauge which is compatible with all capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon.

This measuring system is used in mobile gap and distance measurements and impresses with high accuracy, versatile application possibilities and intuitive operation.

Supported with up to 5h battery life and storage of measurement data on SD card, the MD6-22 is ideally suited to mobile applications in service and maintenance tasks. For example, it is used for rotor gap monitoring in wind turbines and to measure the air gap between the turbine blade and the housing.

This handheld measuring instrument offers three different measurement modes:

Gap Measurement (single-sided)
One or two flat sensors for single-sided gap measurement are used.

Gap Measurement (double-sided)
One flat sensor for double-sided gap measurement is used.

Raw Measurement
Two distance sensors are used which can be calculated together.

Mobile gap gauge

The MD6-22 handheld gauge calculates the sensor signals. It has two connections for two sensors or one dual-channel sensor. The rear magnet enables on-site mounting. Based on intuitive touch operation, all parameters can be set quickly. The measurement values are displayed and can be stored on an SD card.

Calibrated system for measurements independent of the alloy

The capacitive measuring principle enables measurements on all conductive measurement objects. The sensor and the controller are factory-calibrated and matched to one another. When replacing the sensors, recalibration in the factory is recommended in order to maintain the high measurement accuracy. Up to 5 different characteristic curves can be stored in the handheld gauge.

Automatic gap detection

Automatic gap detection simplifies parallel alignment of flat sensors for double-sided measurements, while the sensor is rotated around its longitudinal axis. The system recognizes the correct gap width and displays it.
