FAQ

What is the primary function of the Bently Nevada 164517-025-10-02-00 proximity probe?
This proximity probe measures the distance between the probe tip and a rotating shaft or target surface, providing accurate vibration and displacement data for machinery monitoring systems.

What material is used for the probe tip and why?
The probe features a ceramic tip, chosen for its superior wear resistance, thermal stability, and minimal electrical noise characteristics, ensuring long-term precision.

Can this probe operate in high-temperature environments?
Yes, it can function reliably in temperatures ranging from -35°C to +177°C, making it ideal for use in turbines, compressors, and other heat-intensive machinery.

Which systems are compatible with this proximity probe?
The probe is fully compatible with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and extension cables, forming a complete vibration monitoring system.

What is the linear range of measurement for this model?
The 164517-025-10-02-00 provides a typical linear range of 2 mm (80 mils), maintaining high accuracy across this distance.

How is the probe typically installed in industrial machinery?
It is mounted using its threaded stainless-steel body and secured with a locknut, ensuring stable and repeatable positioning close to the monitored shaft.

What makes the ceramic cap design advantageous?
The ceramic cap provides enhanced resistance to mechanical wear, corrosion, and temperature extremes, which significantly improves the probe’s reliability and lifespan in harsh environments.

In what types of applications is this probe commonly used?
It is widely used in predictive maintenance and machinery protection systems for turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors, where accurate shaft vibration measurement is critical.
