Description

The Bently Nevada 21504-00-32-10-02 is an 8mm proximity probe designed for non-contacting vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. As a core component of the Bently Nevada transducer system, this probe measures both static and dynamic distances between the probe tip and the observed target, providing critical data for machinery protection and condition monitoring.

Features

• Non-contacting measurement technology ensures long-term reliability and minimal wear.
• Frequency response ranging from 0 Hz (DC) to 10 kHz for accurate signal capture.
• Designed for integration with gap-to-voltage transducer systems.
• Standard 8mm probe diameter for compatibility with existing Bently Nevada mounting hardware.
• Equipped with a miniature male coaxial connector for secure signal transmission.

Applications

• Turbine and compressor vibration monitoring.
• Shaft position and axial displacement measurement.
• Radial vibration analysis in high-speed rotating equipment.
• General industrial machinery condition monitoring systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe is mounted in a rigid, vibration-free bracket to prevent false readings.
• Maintain proper gap distance as specified by the system calibration requirements.
• Use only high-quality coaxial extension cables to minimize signal interference and noise.
• Avoid routing signal cables near high-voltage power lines or high-EMI sources.
• Handle the probe tip with care; any damage or scratches to the tip can affect measurement accuracy.
• Ensure all connections are clean and tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 21504-00-32-10-02 probe?

This probe is used to measure the gap between the probe tip and a metallic target, allowing the system to monitor shaft vibration and position in rotating machinery.

Is this probe compatible with standard Bently Nevada monitoring systems?

Yes, this is a standard 8mm proximity probe designed for use with Bently Nevada proximity transducer systems.

How should the probe be connected?

This model features a miniature male coaxial connector, which should be mated with the corresponding female connector on the Bently Nevada extension cable.
