Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 21504-00-40-10-02 is a high-performance proximity probe designed as part of the trusted 7200 Series. It features an 8mm probe tip and comes with a 40-inch integral cable, making it ideal for installations requiring extended distance between the sensing point and the proximitor. This standard mount probe is engineered for continuous monitoring of rotating machinery, providing precise non-contact measurements of shaft vibration and position.
Built to comply with API 670 guidelines, this probe is widely used in the oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and heavy industrial sectors. It works in conjunction with a proximitor sensor and extension cable to form a complete eddy-current proximity measurement system. Its rugged design, superior stability, and ease of installation make it a long-term solution for machinery protection systems.
