Bently Nevada 109549-01 Photoelectric Probe

FAQ

Q1: What is Bently Nevada 109549-01?
A: The 109549-01 is a 3300 XL NSv photoelectric probe used for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and position in machinery-monitoring applications.

Q2: What is the main application of the 109549-01?
A: It is commonly used for radial vibration, axial/thrust position, tachometer, zero-speed and Keyphasor measurements.

Q3: What shaft size can the 109549-01 be used with?
A: The 3300 XL NSv system is particularly suited to measuring radial vibration on shafts smaller than 51 mm (2 inches).

Q4: Can 109549-01 measure axial position?
A: Yes. It can be used for axial-position measurement on flat targets smaller than 15 mm (0.6 inches).

Q5: What is the sensitivity of 109549-01?
A: The commonly listed sensitivity is approximately 200 mV/mil (7.87 mV/µm) ±10%.

Q6: What is the frequency response of the 109549-01?
A: The specified frequency response is approximately 0.5 Hz to 12 kHz (±3 dB).

Q7: What are the dimensions and weight of 109549-01?
A: Available references indicate a weight of approximately 0.18–0.40 kg. A commonly listed physical reference is around 210 × 203 × 38 mm, although some published dimensions represent the shipping envelope rather than the actual probe.

Q8: Is Bently Nevada 109549-01 still available?
A: The part is a legacy 3300 XL NSv component and is available through industrial automation and machinery-monitoring spare-parts suppliers. Some suppliers list new, surplus and refurbished units, so the condition should be confirmed before ordering.
