Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 26530-12-10-03-018-230-22-04-00 Dual Probe Transducer System is a precision-engineered solution designed for accurate vibration and displacement measurement in rotating machinery. As part of Bently Nevada’s highly reliable 26530 series, this model combines two identical probes into a single integrated assembly, offering redundant signal measurement for increased reliability and system integrity.
This transducer system is optimized for use in turbines, compressors, generators, and other critical rotating equipment where continuous monitoring and fault prevention are essential. It measures the dynamic and static proximity of a rotating shaft relative to its bearing or casing, providing essential feedback for machinery protection and predictive maintenance.
The 1.0-meter probe lead length ensures flexible installation across a wide range of industrial setups, while the stainless-steel enclosure and EMI-shielded cable design guarantee durability and stable signal transmission even under high-temperature, vibration, and oil-contaminated environments.
