Bently Nevada 30000-00-08-18-02 Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 30000-00-08-18-02 measures shaft vibration and radial displacement inside rotating machinery. Engineers choose this sensor when continuous position monitoring protects turbines and compressors. Consequently, the probe delivers precise gap voltage readings across the full measurement range.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Data

Mounting space often dictates how technicians arrange sensors around bearing housings. Therefore, the Bently Nevada 30000-00-08-18-02 keeps a slim profile that fits tight clearances. It weighs roughly 0.20 kg and measures 8 mm in tip diameter. Additionally, its overall length reaches 180 mm including the threaded body.

Interfaces and Connectivity Features

Reliable signal transmission depends on secure coaxial connections at every extension point. The Bently Nevada 30000-00-08-18-02 provides a standard coaxial connector for extension cable mating. Furthermore, the stainless steel body resists corrosion in humid plant environments. The sensor pairs directly with 3300 XL前置器 for signal conditioning.

Component Count and Construction Details

Internal construction shapes both measurement stability and service life. The Bently Nevada 30000-00-08-18-02 integrates a coil, target assembly, and sealed housing. Moreover, the probe tip withstands temperatures up to 177°C continuously. The armored cable option protects conductors from mechanical abrasion.
