Bently Nevada 18745-03-05 7200 Series Proximitor Sensor

FAQ

Q1: What is the primary use of the 18745-03-05 sensor?
A1: It is designed for accurate non-contact measurement of static and dynamic shaft position (gap) or vibration in rotating machinery via a proximity probe and Proximitor system.

Q2: What probe diameters does this model support?
A2: It supports either 5 mm or 8 mm diameter probes, depending on the system configuration.

Q3: What is the measurement range of this sensor system?
A3: The system covers a linear measurement range of up to approximately 80 mils (~2 mm) of target displacement.

Q4: What is the bandwidth of the device?
A4: It operates from DC (0 Hz) up to about 10 kHz, making it suitable for both slow position changes and high-frequency vibration.

Q5: What scale factor does the output provide?
A5: The output is typically around 200 mV per mil of gap (~7.9 mV per micrometer), providing a linear voltage representation of target displacement.

Q6: In what temperature range can this sensor be used?
A6: It is rated for operation from –40 °C up to +125 °C, accommodating a wide range of industrial environments.

Q7: What are the physical size and weight of the module?
A7: The sensor module roughly measures 102 mm by 114 mm by 132 mm and weighs about 0.23 kg.

Q8: What kinds of applications is this sensor particularly suited for?
A8: It’s ideal for monitoring shaft position or vibration in turbines, compressors, pumps and other rotating equipment where reliable gap or displacement measurement is required.
