Features:

  • Non-Contact Eddy Current Sensing Element for Shaft Vibration and Position Measurement
  • Integrates 8mm Probe Tip with Integrated Coaxial Cable and Miniature Connector
  • Functions as Part of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System with Full Component Interchangeability
The Bently Nevada 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 serves as the 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe within the proximity transducer system, providing reliable non-contact measurement of shaft radial vibration, axial position, and keyphasor signals in rotating machinery. It continuously converts mechanical shaft movement into high-fidelity electrical signals through eddy current technology, delivering a linear range of 2.0 mm (80 mils) with a sensitivity of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) when paired with an AISI 4140 steel target. The 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 achieves a frequency response from 0 Hz to 10 kHz and operates with a supply voltage range of -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc, drawing less than 12 mA per probe. The 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 has been engineered for robust performance in demanding industrial environments, with the probe tip rated for operating temperatures from -35°C to +120°C and the cable rated from -35°C to +105°C.

The 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 provides essential sensing functions as the front-end measurement element of the transducer system, and is a critical component of the machinery protection path, directly affecting the accuracy and reliability of the overall monitor system. One 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 probe is required per measurement channel, and it must be installed in conjunction with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor sensor (such as model 330180-XX-XX) and the matching MOD: 166797-0180 extension cable to form a complete transducer system. The 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 features a straight miniature coaxial connector (15° connector geometry per the part number designation) and is constructed with an AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel shell for corrosion resistance.

For complete transducer system operation, the 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 requires pairing with the designated extension cable and Proximitor sensor. In addition to standard single-channel measurement, the system configuration supports full interchangeability — the 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 probe, its matching extension cable, and the Proximitor sensor can be replaced individually without requiring recalibration of the entire system. Using this method, the 3300 XL system continually maintains specified accuracy with linear deviation of ≤ ±0.3% over the full linear range at 25°C ambient temperature, and resolution of 0.38 µm (15 microinches) typical. If the system detects that any component is no longer providing stable output (outside configured tolerance levels), it will flag the condition through the monitoring system and place an event in the System Event List.

The 129716-XXX-037-15-05 MOD: 166797-0180 Bently Nevada proximity probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
