Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada AAP1407030-02006 Cooper Vibration Probe is a high-precision industrial vibration sensing device designed for accurate monitoring of machinery vibration in critical rotating equipment. This probe is a part of Bently Nevada’s advanced vibration monitoring solutions, widely used in predictive maintenance and machine protection systems across various industrial sectors such as oil and gas, power generation, petrochemical, and manufacturing industries.
Engineered for compatibility and long-term performance, the AAP1407030-02006 probe provides non-contact vibration and displacement measurements by detecting the relative motion between a machine’s rotating shaft and its stationary housing. It is built using Cooper alloy components, which ensure high durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent temperature stability. The probe operates based on eddy current principles, generating precise electrical signals proportional to shaft vibration or displacement, which can then be processed by proximitor systems or vibration monitors.
This vibration probe is ideal for installation in harsh industrial environments, where accuracy, reliability, and stability are essential. It supports various total length configurations (optional), providing flexibility in setup and integration with standard Bently Nevada proximitor sensors and monitoring systems.
