Abstract:
Integrated penetrator and proximity sensor probe assemblies are provided for monitoring a position of a rotating target within a subsea rotating device such as subsea motors and pumps. The integrated penetrator and proximity sensor probe assemblies are configured to communicate information related to the position of the rotating target through a wall of the device housing, and can be inserted through an opening in the wall of the device housing and mounted to the wall of the device to position a proximity sensor tip assembly adjacent the rotating target. The proximity sensor probe assemblies are pressure-compensated and configured to withstand subsea pressures and conditions.

Claim (Index 1):
A pressure-compensated proximity sensor assembly, comprising:\n a proximity sensor tip assembly including a proximity sensor cap at an end thereof and a sensing element disposed at least partially within the proximity sensor cap, the sensing element configured to produce a signal indicative of a distance between a reference point on the proximity sensor tip assembly and a reference point on a target proximate the proximity sensor cap; and a sensor housing connected to the proximity sensor cap, the sensor housing defining a fluid reservoir containing a substantially incompressible fluid therein, the fluid reservoir in fluid communication with interior portions the proximity sensor cap such that at least a portion of an internal pressure on the substantially incompressible fluid within the fluid reservoir is applied to the interior portions of the proximity sensor cap; and wherein the sensor housing is configured such that the internal pressure on the sensor housing and the substantially incompressible fluid contained therein increases in response to an increase in an external pressure on the sensor housing.
