Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 135613-03-00 High-Temperature Housing Expansion Sensor Assembly is an industrial measurement device designed for monitoring the expansion of machine housings in high-temperature environments. During operation, large turbines and compressors experience significant thermal changes that cause structural components to expand.
Monitoring this expansion is essential for ensuring that machine alignment remains within safe limits. Expansion sensors measure this movement and transmit the data to monitoring systems that analyze machine conditions in real time.
With its high-temperature capability and durable industrial construction, the 135613-03-00 sensor assembly is well suited for installation in turbine monitoring systems and other applications involving large rotating machinery operating under demanding thermal conditions.
