Bently Nevada TK3-2E Proximity System Test Kit

This portable test kit provides comprehensive verification for proximity transducer systems in the field. It combines a calibrated target, micrometer, and power supply within a rugged carrying case. The kit enables accurate simulation of shaft movement to validate probe and driver performance.

Test Configuration and Measurement Precision

The Bently Nevada TK3-2E features a precision micrometer that positions the target with 0.1 mil resolution for accurate calibration. Rotating the micrometer moves the target toward or away from the probe tip. This action simulates actual shaft displacement and generates a corresponding output voltage change. The kit comes with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate for measurement confidence.

Technical Specifications

Calibration and Diagnostic Functionality

The kit enables linearity and sensitivity testing of eddy current probes over the entire gap range. It also identifies cable faults and connector issues in the signal path. The built-in power supply eliminates the need for external power sources during field tests. Users can verify both the 3300 and 7200 series drivers with the same kit. The included carrying case provides secure storage and easy transport.

Application Use

Instrument technicians and reliability engineers rely on this kit for routine system health checks. It proves essential for commissioning new proximity systems in critical machines. The kit also supports troubleshooting during unexpected vibration measurement deviations. Its self-contained design makes it ideal for both workshop and field applications. The kit simplifies training for new personnel due to its straightforward operation.
