Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 30000-00-08-18-02 Probe Vibration Sensor is an industrial-grade sensor designed to provide high-precision vibration and displacement monitoring for rotating machinery. It is used to detect subtle shaft movements, imbalance, misalignment, rubbing, and other mechanical faults that could compromise machinery reliability.
This sensor employs advanced eddy-current proximity technology, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable measurements under demanding conditions, including high vibration, temperature variation, and rotational speed fluctuations. Its robust design makes it ideal for turbines, compressors, generators, pumps, and other critical rotating equipment. The optional cable length feature allows for flexible installation according to specific operational requirements.
