Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 102044-00-18-10-02 is a high-precision proximity sensor engineered for mission-critical machinery protection and condition monitoring in industrial automation, power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing environments. As part of Bently Nevada’s trusted 3300 XL series, this sensor delivers exceptional stability, repeatability, and immunity to electromagnetic interference—ensuring reliable shaft displacement, vibration, and position measurements under demanding operational conditions. Its robust stainless steel housing and hermetically sealed construction provide long-term durability in high-temperature, high-humidity, and corrosive settings typical of turbine enclosures, compressors, and large rotating equipment.

This proximity probe operates on the eddy-current principle, offering non-contact measurement with sub-micron resolution and linear output calibrated to industry-standard sensitivity (e.g., 7.87 V/mm or 200 mV/mil). The integrated coaxial cable and pre-calibrated probe-to-extension cable interface ensure seamless integration with Bently Nevada 3300/3500 monitoring systems, minimizing setup time and calibration drift. Designed to meet API 670 (4th Edition) requirements for machinery protection systems, the 102044-00-18-10-02 supports continuous online monitoring, enabling predictive maintenance strategies and reducing unplanned downtime through early fault detection.

Key Features

• High-Accuracy Eddy-Current Sensing: Delivers repeatable, temperature-compensated measurements with ≤±0.5% linearity error across its full operating range.
• Rugged Industrial Construction: 316 stainless steel probe tip and body rated for continuous operation up to +125°C ambient and IP68 ingress protection.
• System-Ready Integration: Factory-matched with 3300 XL extension cables and compatible with Bently Nevada 3300/3500 rack-based monitors and System 1™ software platforms.
