Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 86517-01-01-01-02 is a precision 8mm proximity probe system belonging to the industry-leading 3300 XL series. Designed for high-reliability machinery protection, this non-contact displacement transducer is used to monitor shaft relative vibration, position (eccentricity), and speed (Keyphasor) on critical rotating equipment. The 86517-01-01-01-02 utilizes eddy current technology to generate a voltage output proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive surface of the shaft. This specific part number configuration typically indicates a complete assembly, including the probe tip, extension cable, and connector, optimized for use with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors.

In the demanding environment of turbomachinery monitoring, the Bently Nevada 86517-01-01-01-02 offers exceptional stability and accuracy. The 8mm tip size is the industry standard for general-purpose machinery monitoring, providing a robust linear range suitable for most industrial turbines, compressors, and pumps. The 86517-01-01-01-02 is fully compliant with API 670 standards, ensuring it meets the rigorous requirements for performance and environmental resistance. By providing precise, real-time data on shaft dynamics, this probe system enables the 3500 or 3701 protection systems to make critical decisions that prevent catastrophic mechanical failure.
