Application in Rotating Machinery
Its 8 mm tip and reverse case configuration allow installation in tight spaces. The 200 mV/mil scale factor provides clear, linear output for trend analysis and alarm thresholds. With a frequency response up to 10 kHz, it captures both low-speed and high-speed vibration events.

Installation Guidance for Maintenance Teams
When installing the 21508-02-12-50-02, ensure the probe face is positioned within the calibrated range (starting at approximately 10 mils from the target surface). Use the 3/8-24 threaded mounting to secure the probe. The miniature male coaxial connector simplifies cabling to the proximitor. Verify power supply is within -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc at 12 mA maximum to avoid damage.
Environmental Durability and Reliability
The probe and extension cable operate from -30°F to +350°F, making them suitable for high-temperature areas near bearings or steam paths. The probe resists corrosion from air, water, lube oil, ammonium hydroxide, sulfuric acid (10%), MEK, and DMF. Relative humidity up to 95% noncondensing is acceptable. These traits reduce maintenance frequency in aggressive environments.
Reliable Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 21508-02-12-50-02
