Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 21505-00-44-10-02 stands as a cornerstone for modern machinery vibration monitoring. As part of the trusted 7200 Series, this proximity transducer system provides critical data for predictive maintenance. It accurately measures shaft vibration and position, helping to prevent costly downtime in rotating equipment like turbines and compressors. Furthermore, its robust stainless steel construction ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Technical Specifications
Performance and Output
First, the 21505-00-44-10-02 delivers a calibrated range of 80 mils (2.0 mm). Specifically, this linear output begins at approximately 10 mils (0.25 mm) from the probe face. Additionally, its scale factor is rated at 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm) with a system accuracy of ±4%. Moreover, the frequency response is flat from 0 to 10 kHz (0 to 600,000 cpm), with a drop of just -5% at 10 kHz. This ensures accurate data capture for high-speed machinery.
Input and Power
Furthermore, the system requires a DC input voltage between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc. Besides that, it operates efficiently with a maximum current consumption of only 12 mA. Consequently, it integrates easily into existing 24V DC control systems without requiring a specialized power supply.
Mechanical and Environmental Limits
Temperature and Humidity
The operating temperature range is a key feature. Meanwhile, the Proximitor can function in conditions from -60°F to +212°F (-51°C to +100°C). On the other hand, the probe and extension cable handle even more extreme heat, operating from -30°F to +350°F (-34°C to +177°C). For instance, this makes it ideal for applications near steam turbines or hot gas paths. Additionally, the system is rated for up to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Durability and Corrosion Resistance
Robustness is built into the design. Specifically, the probe features a stainless steel lead armor for maximum protection. Moreover, for the 8 mm probe models, operation remains unaffected by direct contact with various substances. These include air, water, lube oil, ammonium hydroxide, 10% sulfuric acid, MEK, and DMF. Therefore, the 21505-00-44-10-02 is exceptionally resistant to chemical exposure found in many petrochemical plants.
Installation and Configuration Guide
Mounting and Mechanical Details
The probe utilizes a standard 3/8-24 thread configuration for easy installation. Meanwhile, the unthreaded length option is 00, which means 0 mm of unthreaded casing. The overall case length is option 44, indicating a length of 4.4 inches. Furthermore, the total length option is 10, providing a 1.0-meter (39 inches) cable. Notably, this cable has a tolerance of +.25 meter and -.10 meter (+10 inches, -4 inches).
Connector and System Integration
Connecting the device is simple because it features a miniature male coaxial connector. Meanwhile, the system is calibrated to deliver a linear output within 0.8 mils of a straight line. However, when incorporating interchangeability errors, the linearity extends to within 2.3 mils. Therefore, proper installation of the Bently Nevada 21505-00-44-10-02 ensures accurate shaft relative vibration and position measurements.
