Bently Nevada 86517-01-01-01-01 Proximity Probe Assembly

FAQ

Q1: What is the Bently Nevada 86517-01-01-01-01 used for?
It is a 3300 XL proximity probe assembly used for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, position, and dynamic displacement in rotating machinery.

Q2: What does the 01-01-01-01 configuration mean?
It typically represents standardized options for mechanical configuration, cable/connector arrangement, and system compatibility within the 3300 XL probe ordering structure.

Q3: What technology does it use?
It uses eddy current sensing technology to measure distance between the probe tip and a conductive target surface.

Q4: Is this a complete system?
No. It is part of a system and must be used with a matching extension cable and Proximitor® sensor.

Q5: What equipment is it compatible with?
It is designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor® systems and matching signal conditioning modules.

Q6: Where is it commonly used?
It is widely used in power plants, oil & gas facilities, petrochemical plants, and industrial rotating equipment monitoring.

Q7: What should be checked before replacement?
Verify probe length, connector type, thread specification, system calibration requirements, and compatibility with existing 3300 XL components.

Q8: Does the configuration affect measurement accuracy?
Yes. The probe configuration must match the system calibration to ensure accurate vibration and position measurements.
