Bently Nevada 21504-00-16-10-02 Proximity Probe Vibration Sensor

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 21504-00-16-10-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Application in Rotating Machinery Protection

Its 0 to 10 kHz frequency response captures both low-speed runout and high-frequency blade-pass events. The probe's corrosion resistance to air, water, lube oil, and several chemicals (ammonium hydroxide, 10% sulfuric acid, MEK, DMF) makes it suitable for harsh environments like compressor trains and steam turbines.

Installation Guidance for Reliable Measurement

Proper gap setting is critical. The calibrated range begins at approximately 10 mils (0.25 mm) from the probe face. When installing, ensure the probe tip is clean and the target surface is free of electrical runout. Use the miniature male coaxial connector for secure signal transmission. The probe and extension cable operate from -30°F to +350°F (-34°C to +177°C), while the Proximitor handles -60°F to +212°F (-51°C to +100°C).

Maintenance and Reliability Considerations

Periodically inspect the probe cable and connector for wear or damage. Verify the scale factor annually using a calibrated target and micrometer. The system's linearity is within 0.8 mils (0.02 mm) when calibrated as a system, ensuring repeatable readings over time. Store the probe in its original factory packing when not in use.

Precision Vibration Monitoring for Critical Machinery

For maintenance engineers tasked with protecting rotating assets, the Bently Nevada 21504-00-16-10-02 proximity probe delivers the measurement fidelity required for early fault detection. This 8 mm probe, part of the 7200 Proximity Transducer System, provides a calibrated range of 80 mils (2.0 mm) with a scale factor of 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm) — essential for capturing shaft vibration and position data in turbines, compressors, and pumps.
