Bently Nevada 26179-01-04-10-02 Proximity Sensor

Technical Specifications

Measurement Function

A proximity probe detects changes in the distance between its sensing tip and a conductive target without physical contact. In a compatible transducer system, the probe forms part of the measurement chain that converts shaft movement into an electrical signal for machinery monitoring.

Radial vibration measurements track changes in shaft position relative to the probe. Axial position measurements track movement along the shaft axis. Speed and Keyphasor applications require a suitable target arrangement and compatible monitoring equipment.

Installation and System Selection

Confirm the probe dimensions, mounting thread, cable configuration, and transducer-system compatibility before replacement. The probe must operate with the appropriate signal-conditioning equipment and a matching calibration configuration to produce meaningful displacement measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the Bently Nevada 26179-01-04-10-02 measure?

A: It is listed as a proximity probe for non-contact displacement sensing. The supplied application information includes radial vibration, axial position, and speed or Keyphasor measurements, subject to the installed system configuration.

Q: Can this probe be used as a standalone sensor?

A: The probe is a sensing component rather than a complete machinery monitoring system. Verify the required compatible signal-conditioning module, cabling, and monitor before installation.

Q: Which mounting thread should be checked before ordering?

A: The model-specific listing identifies an M10 x 1 thread. However, one of the supplied descriptions states M14 x 1.5, so confirm the actual part marking or original manufacturer documentation before ordering a replacement.
