Bently 106765-07 Central control module

Product Description

Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors are eddy current proximity transducers designed to measure the position and vibration of rotating shafts within the clearances of their fluid film bearings. They are widely used in industrial machinery, particularly in power generation, aerospace, and oil and gas applications, to monitor the health and performance of rotating equipment.  

Key Features and Benefits

• High Accuracy: Proximitor sensors offer exceptional accuracy in measuring both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values.

   

• Rugged Design: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, these sensors are highly reliable and durable.

   

• Wide Measurement Range: Available in various measurement ranges, Proximitor sensors can accommodate a wide range of applications.

   

• Corrosion Resistance: The sensors are constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring long-term performance in challenging conditions.

• RFI/EMI Immunity: Proximitor sensors are designed to minimize the effects of radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring accurate measurements.

   

• Non-contact Measurement: The non-contact nature of the sensor eliminates wear and tear on the shaft, extending the life of the equipment.
