BENTLY NEVADA 19004-02-12-36-02 Proximity Probe

Functional Description

19004-02-12-36-00 is a Proximity Probe developed by Bently Nevada. The reliable sensor is designed for monitoring the position of rotating machinery where precision and durability are critical. Known for its high accuracy and robust construction, the proximity probe is engineered to withstand harsh environments while providing consistent and reliable performance. This sensor is an essential component in condition monitoring systems, used to detect the proximity of a target to the probe tip, helping to prevent mechanical failures by detecting issues early.

Features

• Operating Range: Has an operational range of 5mm, which makes it ideal for detecting small changes in the position of rotating components. This sensitivity allows for precise monitoring of shaft positions and alignment in rotating equipment like turbines, pumps, and motors.
• Accuracy: With an accuracy of ±0.05%, the proximity probe delivers precise and repeatable measurements, ensuring that minute changes in position are detected and allowing for highly accurate monitoring of machinery condition. This level of accuracy is crucial in preventing unexpected failures and optimizing the maintenance schedule.
• Operating Temperature: This proximity probe is designed to function reliably across a wide range of temperatures, from as low as -40°C to as high as +125°C. This feature ensures that it can be used in extreme environmental conditions, making it suitable for a variety of industries, including oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing.
• Protection Class: Certified to IP67 standards, the Bently Nevada proximity probe offers excellent protection against dust and water. The probe can withstand immersion in water up to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes, making it highly reliable in environments exposed to moisture, dirt, or dust.
• Material: The probe is constructed from stainless steel, a material known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. This makes the probe suitable for use in harsh and corrosive environments, ensuring long-lasting performance even in industrial settings exposed to chemicals, humidity, or other corrosive agents.
• Frequency Response: The frequency response of 10Hz to 10kHz ensures the probe can detect a wide range of mechanical events, from low-frequency vibrations to higher-frequency motion, which is essential for monitoring the condition of rotating machinery with a broad spectrum of operational dynamics.
