Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 24765-03-00 Case Expansion Transducer Assembly is a precision-engineered sensor designed to measure the expansion and deformation of machinery casings. This device monitors the relative movement between stationary and rotating components, providing critical data for vibration analysis and condition-based maintenance systems. Utilizing Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) technology, it converts mechanical displacement into a stable electrical signal, allowing real-time monitoring of rotor dynamics and mechanical integrity.
This assembly is widely used in industrial turbines, compressors, generators, and large pumps, where thermal and mechanical growth can lead to misalignment or rotor-stator contact. The 24765-03-00 is designed for reliability under harsh environmental conditions, ensuring continuous monitoring and enabling predictive maintenance strategies to minimize unplanned downtime.
