Bently Nevada 169253-01 3300-Series 5 mm Probe

The Bently Nevada 169253-01 is a 5 mm probe from the 3300 series, designed for applications where physical space constraints prevent the use of larger 8 mm probes. Despite its smaller size, it maintains the same side view clearances and tip-to-tip spacing as an 8 mm probe, ensuring reliable performance without compromising on functionality.

Key Features

• Smaller Physical Packaging: The 5 mm probe uses compact packaging while maintaining the same side view clearances and tip-to-tip spacing as an 8 mm probe.
• Suitable for Narrow Spaces: Ideal for applications where space limitations preclude the use of larger probes.
• Compatibility with 3300 NSv System: When narrow side view requirements are critical, the 3300 NSv Proximity Transducer System (p/n 147385-01) can be used.
• Recommendation for 8 mm Probes: For optimal robustness against physical abuse, 8 mm probes (p/n 141605-01) are recommended due to their thicker encapsulation and stronger case.

Specifications

• Probe Diameter: 5 mm
• Clearance and Spacing: Maintains the same side view clearances and tip-to-tip spacing as 8 mm probes.
• Encapsulation: Smaller encapsulation compared to 8 mm probes, which have thicker encapsulation in molded PPS plastic.
• Case Strength: Smaller diameter results in a less robust case compared to the larger 8 mm probes.

Applications

• Space-Constrained Environments: Use when physical constraints limit the installation of larger probes.
• Proximity Monitoring: Suitable for proximity monitoring in rotating machinery, such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.
• Vibration Analysis: Essential for vibration analysis and condition monitoring systems.
