Bently Nevada 26530-12-05-03-018-112-24-03-00 Dual Probe Transducer System

Dual Probe Transducer System Overview

The Bently Nevada 26530-12-05-03-018-112-24-03-00 Dual Probe Transducer System is a precision instrument designed for comprehensive machinery monitoring. It combines a proximity probe and a seismic or Velomitor transducer in a common housing, enabling four separate measurements: shaft relative radial position, shaft relative radial dynamic motion, machine casing absolute vibration, and shaft absolute motion. This system provides the best measurement data when the transducer housing is mounted on a portion of the bearing housing or cover that is mechanically referenced to the bearing.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 26530-12-05-03-018-112-24-03-00 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

By measuring both relative shaft motion and absolute casing vibration, it enables complete diagnostics using orbit analysis and shaft centerline position information. For radial bearings, two assemblies in an X-Y configuration are required per bearing. The optional probe support/oil sleeve protects the system from oil and provides additional support for the probe sleeve.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the transducer housing on a bearing housing or cover that is mechanically referenced to the bearing. Ensure the adapter length (1.8 in) and probe penetration (11.2 in) meet the minimum and maximum ranges specified. For penetration lengths between 1.0 and 2.0 inches, a counter bore may be required to reduce side view and rear view effects. The probe lead length is 0.5 metre.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the transducer system periodically for signs of oil contamination or physical damage. The 3300 XL 8 mm probe operates reliably across a wide temperature range. Note that exposing the probe to temperatures below -34℃ (-30℉) may cause premature failure of the probe pressure seal. Always verify the temperature limits for each component in your specific application.

Compatibility & Integration

The Velomitor sensor provides velocity output, while the proximity probe delivers displacement data. For complete machinery protection, pair this system with compatible monitors and software.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a dual probe system, consider the probe type, lead length, adapter thread, and penetration requirements. The 26530-12-05-03-018-112-24-03-00 is configured for 3300 XL 8 mm probes with a 0.5 metre lead. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
