FAQ
-
How is the 330905-12-22-05-02-05 probe calibrated to maintain measurement accuracy?
Each probe is factory-calibrated using an AISI 4140 steel target to ensure precise sensitivity and linearity. -
Can this probe interface with different Bently Nevada Proximitor drivers?
Yes, it integrates seamlessly with the 3300 XL Proximitor and approved NSv extension cables. -
What is the maximum vibration frequency range measurable by this probe?
It can detect vibration signals up to 10 kHz within its specified linear range. -
What is the typical output signal of the probe?
The output is a voltage proportional to shaft displacement, typically 0–20 V peak-to-peak. -
Is additional electromagnetic shielding required in high-noise environments?
No, the probe’s integrated EMI shielding ensures stable and reliable performance. -
Can the probe be used in pressurized or oil-submerged environments?
Yes, it is pressure-rated up to 500 psi and suitable for submerged or pressurized installations. -
How does the probe maintain accuracy across wide temperature ranges?
