Product Description

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-094-03-02 is a high-precision 16 mm Proximity Probe from the 3300 Series transducer system. This eddy-current sensor is designed for non-contact measurement of vibration and shaft position in critical rotating machinery such as large turbines, compressors, and motors. Compared to standard 8 mm probes, the 16 mm design provides extended linear range and robustness, making it suitable for thick-material or high-gap applications. It is engineered for use with machinery protection systems to detect shaft misalignment, bearing wear, and unbalance early.

Application Scenarios

The 16 mm probe is ideal for:

  • Large turbines, compressors, and motors where air gaps exceed 8 mm probe limits

  • Applications in oil & gas, power generation, and mining

  • Situations requiring robust, hazardous-area-approved sensors

  • Integration with 3300 XL Proximitor systems for machinery protection and monitoring


Technical FAQ

Q: Can this probe be used with a standard 3300 XL Proximitor?
A: Yes, but it must be paired with the correct 16 mm Proximitor Sensor and extension cable to maintain proper scale factor, linearity, and signal accuracy.

Q: What does the 9.4 m total length refer to?
A: This is the combined probe lead and integral cable length. Total system length must match the Proximitor calibration (commonly 5 m or 9 m) to ensure accurate readings.

Q: Why use a 16 mm probe instead of 8 mm?
A: The 16 mm diameter provides a larger linear range, improved mechanical stability, and better tolerance for thick casing or high air gaps in large machinery.
