Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 21500-00-08-10-02 is a high-performance 8mm proximity probe belonging to the renowned 3300 XL series. This non-contact displacement sensor is engineered to provide precise measurements of shaft position, vibration, and speed for critical rotating machinery. As a core component of the Bently Nevada asset protection portfolio, the 21500-00-08-10-02 utilizes eddy current technology to convert physical gap changes into a linear voltage output. This allows for the accurate detection of shaft relative vibration, axial position (thrust), and eccentricity, making it indispensable for monitoring steam turbines, gas turbines, and centrifugal compressors.

Designed for durability and accuracy, the Bently Nevada 21500-00-08-10-02 features a robust construction capable of withstanding harsh industrial environments. The “02” suffix in the part number typically indicates a specific configuration, often relating to high-temperature capabilities or specific cable terminations suitable for demanding applications. The 8mm tip diameter offers an optimal balance between sensitivity and mounting practicality, fitting standard ISO and API mounting threads. By integrating this probe into a machinery protection system, plant operators gain critical insights into the mechanical health of their assets, enabling predictive maintenance and preventing catastrophic failures.
