Technical Overview

The TK-3E (177313-01-02) is a specialized, electric-driven calibration instrument used to verify the operational integrity of Bently Nevada proximity transducer systems. This high-precision kit simulates shaft vibration and position, enabling technicians to validate the performance of proximity probes, extension cables, and Proximitor modules.

This specific configuration includes an electric motor drive, providing consistent dynamic signals for testing machinery protection system alarms and frequency response—eliminating the need for a rotating machine during calibration.

Technical Specifications

Specification Details
Model Identifier TK-3E
Drive Type Electric motor driven
Measurement Scale 01 – English Units (mils/inches)
Power Interface 02 – European power cord type
Spindle Capability Static displacement and dynamic vibration simulation
Target Material 4140 steel (standard target button)
 Weight 7.5 kg 

Practical Application and Field Utility

The TK-3E (177313-01-02) is essential for loop checking and system verification in industrial environments. By utilizing the electric-driven spindle, engineers can simulate precise vibration levels at the probe tip, ensuring monitoring systems are correctly calibrated to trigger alarms at defined setpoints.

Key benefits include:

  • Dynamic signal simulation for frequency response testing

  • Direct correlation with legacy Bently Nevada standards (200 mV/mil)

  • On-site calibration capability, reducing maintenance downtime

  • Rugged, portable design for field use

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the advantage of the electric-driven TK-3E over the manual version?
A: The electric motor provides a stable, continuous dynamic signal, which is critical for verifying frequency response and ensuring vibration alarms actuate at the correct amplitudes.

Q: Is the target button replaceable?
A: Yes, while supplied with a 4140 steel target, the TK-3E supports alternative target materials to match specific shaft metallurgy for more accurate voltage-to-gap calibration.
