Technical FAQs

1. What does this probe measure?
It measures the relative position of a rotating shaft or surface, providing displacement/vibration data.

2. Which systems is it compatible with?
It’s designed to integrate with Bently Nevada 3300 series vibration and position monitoring systems.

3. What type of connector does it use?
The sensor uses a MIL‑style 12‑pin connector compatible with 3300 probe drivers.

4. Is the cable shielded?
Yes — the cable is fully shielded to minimize electrical interference.

5. What environments can it operate in?
It’s built for standard industrial environments, including high‑vibration and high‑temperature zones.

6. How is the probe mounted?
It mounts using a standard probe mount or boss fitting specific to the machinery.

7. Does it require maintenance?
Periodic inspection and calibration help ensure long‑term accuracy, especially in high‑duty applications.

8. What types of equipment benefit most from this probe?
Critical rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors.

9. Can it be used outdoors?
Yes — with appropriate environmental protection such as conduit or enclosures.

10. Does the housing protect the probe from damage?
The industrial‑grade housing offers mechanical protection while facilitating precise alignment.
