Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 21505-00-12-05-02 7200 8 mm Standard Mount Armored Probe is a precision-engineered proximity probe designed for accurate and stable measurement of shaft vibration and position in rotating machinery. As part of the Bently Nevada 7200 Series, this probe combines rugged mechanical construction with high electrical accuracy to deliver long-term reliability in critical industrial monitoring applications.
This probe utilizes the eddy current principle to measure the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, such as a turbine shaft or compressor rotor. It is typically used in combination with extension cables and Proximitor sensors to form a complete proximity measurement system. The 8 mm probe tip ensures high sensitivity and resolution, making it suitable for high-speed machinery where precision signal feedback is essential.
The armored construction of the 21505-00-12-05-02 provides excellent protection against physical damage, oil contamination, and electromagnetic interference. The stainless-steel armor enhances durability and extends service life in environments with vibration, moisture, or mechanical stress. With a total length of 0.5 meter and factory calibration, this probe ensures consistent output performance and reliable monitoring results even in harsh industrial conditions.
