Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada APP1407030-00100 Cooper Vibration Probe is a precision-engineered non-contact vibration sensing device designed for accurate measurement of shaft vibration and position in industrial rotating machinery. This probe is part of Bently Nevada’s highly reliable Cooper Vibration Probe Series, which has been developed to provide stable and repeatable measurements under extreme environmental and operational conditions.
Using eddy current proximity measurement technology, the APP1407030-00100 detects the minute changes in the distance between the probe tip and the rotating shaft surface. This data is crucial for monitoring the dynamic behavior of machinery such as turbines, compressors, motors, pumps, and generators, ensuring early detection of mechanical problems like imbalance, misalignment, rubs, or bearing wear.
Engineered with robust materials and advanced internal shielding, the probe maintains signal integrity even in high-temperature, high-vibration, and electromagnetically noisy environments. The APP1407030-00100 probe interfaces seamlessly with Bently Nevada proximitor sensors and monitoring systems, delivering precise, linear, and stable output for both static and dynamic measurements.
This model is widely used in machinery protection systems where continuous vibration monitoring and shaft displacement analysis are essential to operational safety, predictive maintenance, and plant reliability.

FAQ
-
What type of measurement does the APP1407030-00100 probe provide?
It measures non-contact shaft vibration and position using eddy current sensing technology, converting gap changes into proportional voltage signals. -
Can this probe be directly connected to a vibration monitor?
No, it must be connected to a Bently Nevada proximitor sensor, which conditions and amplifies the signal before it is sent to the monitoring system. -
What is the typical linear measurement range of this model?
The probe offers a nominal linear range of 2 mm, depending on the proximitor calibration and shaft material. -
How does shaft material affect probe calibration?
The probe’s calibration is based on the conductivity of the target material, typically 4140 steel. If another material is used, recalibration or correction factors are required. -
What type of signal output does the probe generate?
It produces a low-level voltage signal proportional to the shaft’s proximity or vibration amplitude, which is processed by the proximitor module. -
Is the probe suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, it can withstand operating temperatures up to +180°C, making it suitable for use near hot machinery components. -
Does the probe require periodic recalibration?
Generally, no recalibration is required unless there is a change in installation conditions or target material, as it is factory-calibrated for long-term stability. -
Can the probe cable length be modified on-site?
No, the cable length is factory-configured and matched to the proximitor. Altering it can affect calibration accuracy and signal integrity. -
Is the APP1407030-00100 compatible with legacy systems?
Yes, it is designed for backward compatibility with older Bently Nevada 3300 and 7200 series systems. -
What installation precautions should be observed?
Proper alignment and mounting torque should be applied, and the probe tip should maintain a clean, dry surface to ensure accurate signal response and longevity.
