Introduction
The Bently Nevada 22810-00-13-10-02 is a 7200 Series 8 mm standard-mount proximity probe intended for non-contact measurement on rotating machinery. It provides a practical sensing solution for applications where shaft position, radial movement, and vibration need to be monitored without direct contact between the sensor and the rotating target.
Designed for use within a compatible proximity measurement system, this probe is well suited to industrial machinery such as turbines, compressors, pumps, fans, and motor-driven equipment. Its compact 8 mm sensing format makes it a versatile choice for installations where reliable shaft monitoring and straightforward mechanical integration are both important.
For maintenance departments supporting established machinery protection systems, the 22810-00-13-10-02 can be a valuable replacement component. Rather than changing an entire monitoring arrangement, maintaining a compatible probe configuration can help simplify scheduled maintenance, spare-parts management, and equipment restoration.
Technical Specifications
The 22810-00-13-10-02 is identified as an 8 mm Bently Nevada proximity probe associated with the 7200 Series. Because published listings do not consistently provide the same dimensional data for this exact part number, installation-critical measurements should be verified against the applicable equipment documentation before replacement.

Applications
Rotating Machinery Protection
The 22810-00-13-10-02 can be incorporated into monitoring systems that continuously observe the dynamic behavior of rotating shafts. This makes it suitable for machinery where abnormal shaft movement may provide an early indication of mechanical problems.
Turbine Monitoring
Turbines require dependable shaft measurements because changes in rotor position or vibration can have a direct impact on equipment reliability. A compatible 8 mm proximity probe can provide the non-contact sensing required by the monitoring system.
Compressor Applications
High-speed compressors benefit from continuous observation of shaft behavior. The probe can be used as part of a properly configured proximity monitoring arrangement for vibration and displacement measurements.
Pumps and Fans
For pumps, fans, and other rotating auxiliary equipment, proximity sensing can provide useful information about shaft movement and machine condition, particularly where conventional contact measurement is impractical.
Replacement and Maintenance Programs
The 22810-00-13-10-02 is especially relevant to maintenance teams working with installed 7200 Series equipment. Keeping the correct replacement probe available can reduce troubleshooting time and help restore a monitoring channel efficiently when a sensor reaches the end of its service life.
Advantages
Non-Contact Sensing
The proximity principle allows shaft movement to be monitored without physical contact. This eliminates mechanical wear at the sensing interface and makes the technology particularly appropriate for continuously rotating machinery.
Compact 8 mm Probe Design
The 8 mm probe format offers a useful combination of compact installation requirements and practical sensing capability, making it suitable for a wide range of machinery-monitoring arrangements.
Established 7200 Series Platform
For facilities operating legacy 7200 Series monitoring equipment, maintaining compatible sensing components can be a cost-conscious approach to extending the service life of an existing protection system.
Industrial-Oriented Construction
The probe is intended for demanding machinery-monitoring environments, where mechanical stability and dependable signal generation are important considerations.
Useful for Predictive Maintenance
Continuous shaft measurements can provide maintenance personnel with information that supports trend analysis and early identification of abnormal machine behavior.
Easier Spare-Parts Planning
Using the complete part number 22810-00-13-10-02 rather than selecting a replacement based only on the 8 mm diameter helps reduce the risk of installing a mechanically or electrically incompatible component.
Practical Replacement Choice
When the existing system has been designed around a compatible 7200 Series proximity configuration, replacing the individual probe can be considerably more efficient than redesigning the entire monitoring chain.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 22810-00-13-10-02?
The Bently Nevada 22810-00-13-10-02 is an 8 mm proximity probe associated with the 7200 Series. It is designed for non-contact measurement of rotating-shaft movement and can be used for vibration and displacement monitoring.
2. What does this proximity probe measure?
The probe measures the distance between its sensing tip and a conductive target, normally a rotating shaft. Changes in this distance can be processed by compatible electronics to monitor shaft displacement and vibration.
3. Is the 22810-00-13-10-02 suitable for rotating machinery?
Yes. Its intended use as a proximity sensing component makes it suitable for rotating machinery applications such as turbines, compressors, pumps, fans, and motors when the complete system is correctly configured.
4. Why is an 8 mm probe used for shaft monitoring?
The 8 mm format provides a compact sensing solution for applications where installation space is limited while still providing the proximity measurement capability required for shaft-position and vibration monitoring.
5. Is this probe a complete vibration monitoring system?
No. The probe is a sensing component. A complete proximity measurement system normally also requires compatible driver electronics, appropriate cabling, and a monitoring or protection system.
6. Can this probe be connected directly to a PLC?
It should not be assumed that the probe can connect directly to a standard PLC input. Proximity probes generally require appropriate interface or driver electronics to generate the signal required by the monitoring system.
7. What should be checked before ordering a replacement?
The complete part number, probe diameter, mounting arrangement, cable configuration, system length, driver compatibility, connector type, and physical installation dimensions should all be checked before approving the replacement.
8. What are the dimensions of the 22810-00-13-10-02?
The exact overall dimensions depend on the specific configuration and mounting arrangement. Because publicly available listings do not consistently provide a complete dimensional drawing for this exact part number, the installation drawing should be used for final mechanical verification.
9. How much does the 22810-00-13-10-02 weigh?
Supplier listings report approximately 200 g to 300 g, but these figures are not sufficiently consistent to treat one value as an exact factory net weight. Packaging, cable configuration, and supplied assembly should be considered when planning shipping or installation.
10. Is the 22810-00-13-10-02 a good choice for legacy 7200 Series equipment?
It can be an appropriate replacement where the existing installation requires the same or a fully compatible 7200 Series 8 mm proximity configuration. The complete system should be checked before replacement because similar-looking probes can have different mechanical and electrical specifications.
