Product Description
The Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-00-124-03-02 is a heavy-duty 16 mm proximity probe assembly designed for high-precision vibration and shaft position monitoring in large-scale industrial rotating machinery. Its 16 mm probe diameter provides a significantly wider linear range than standard 8 mm probes, making it ideal for turbines, compressors, and other machines with large shaft movement. The probe is mounted in an aluminum housing that supports external installation, gap adjustment, and hazardous area compliance, protecting the sensor from harsh industrial environments while enabling convenient field access.

Application Scenarios
-
Critical machinery protection systems (e.g., Bently Nevada 3500 Series)
-
Monitoring axial thrust and radial vibration in turbines, compressors, and large motors
-
Applications requiring large probe-to-shaft gaps or measurement through thick casings
-
Hazardous industrial environments with compliance for CSA, ATEX, and IECEx
Technical FAQ
Q: Why is the 12.4 m system length important?
A: The Proximitor sensor is calibrated for a specific total electrical length (5 m, 9 m, or custom lengths like 12.4 m). Maintaining the combined length of the probe lead and any extension cable ensures accuracy and linearity in vibration measurement.
Q: Can this probe be adjusted or replaced while the machine is running?
A: Yes, when installed in a 21000 series external housing, the probe can often be adjusted or replaced externally, without exposing technicians to moving parts—provided proper safety protocols and housing seals are followed.
Q: Why choose a 16 mm probe over an 8 mm probe?
A: The 16 mm probe offers a wider linear range (~4 mm), essential for machines with large shaft movements or thermal expansion, where standard 8 mm probes would be insufficient.
