BENTLY NEVADA

Main Functions

1. Non‑contact eddy‑current distance sensing: Detects clearance between probe tip and rotating metal shaft surface, converts mechanical gap variation into proportional negative DC voltage signal; nominal sensitivity 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), linear measuring range 0.25‑2.25 mm.
2. Dynamic shaft‑vibration measurement: Captures high‑frequency radial shaft vibration (0‑10 kHz bandwidth) inside bearing housing for rotating‑machinery health monitoring.
3. Static axial‑displacement measurement: Monitors shaft thrust position / thrust‑wear offset for thrust‑bearing protection.More products: www.plcva.com
4. Keyphasor speed & phase reference: Works as phase trigger probe to provide rotational speed and phase angle signal for rotor fault analysis.
5. System‑compatible signal transmission: Must pair with matching extension cable and 3300‑XL proximitor sensor; outputs conditioned signal to Bently 3500 monitoring rack; supports hazardous‑area installation with explosion‑proof certifications.
6. High‑temperature & anti‑interference performance: Industrial‑grade insulated cable, stable output under large temperature fluctuation, anti‑electromagnetic interference for cabinet‑field environment.

Applications & Usage

1. Power generation industry: Shaft vibration, thrust‑displacement monitoring for steam turbines, gas turbines, generators, auxiliary fans, comply with API‑670 machinery‑protection standard.
2. Petrochemical & oil‑gas plants: Applied on centrifugal compressors, process pumps, turbo‑expanders; realize online machinery protection and predictive maintenance.
3. Heavy‑industry rotating equipment: Large motors, blowers, gear units; inner‑bearing‑housing non‑contact shaft‑condition monitoring.
4. Spare‑part replacement: Widely used as spare sensor for existing Bently‑3500 monitoring systems in legacy production facilities.
5. Hazardous‑location sites: Suitable for explosive‑gas zones in refineries and chemical plants due to ATEX / IECEx approvals.
