Popis: This paper proposes a new probe for suppressing the vibration component from the detection signal in eddy current testing. The work is motivated by the desire to develop a new inspection method that can suppress the effects of vibration generated in the manufacturing process of metal parts such as tubes, rods and wires in order to make the current manufacturing process faster. The novelty of the probe lies in its simultaneous use of self and mutual inductions. The proposed probe uses the different effects of the self and mutual inductions to suppress the vibration component. This paper simplifies the discussion by limiting the dynamic vibration of the test specimen to static displacement. The coil distance between the excitation and detection coils should be adjusted for each test specimen for the most effective suppression of the displacement signal. The simulation and measurement results show that the coil distance in the mutual induction probe can control the phase of the displacement signal. It was confirmed that the amplitude of displacement signals measured by the proposed probe was under 6 % of the amplitude measured by the self-induction probe when the optimal coil distance was used. The results obtained suggest that the proposed probe can suppress the vibration component.
