Features:
- Designed for tight installations and shafts smaller than 51mm.
- 7.87 V/mm scale factor with 1.5mm linear range.
- ClickLoc connectors, TiLoc molding, 220N pull strength, and chemical resistance.
The 143493-00-080-080-70-00 is specifically engineered for applications where standard 5mm and 8mm probes cannot fit due to counter bore, sideview, or rearview restrictions. It excels in measuring radial vibration on shafts smaller than 51 mm (2 inches) and axial position on flat targets smaller than 15 mm (0.6 inches). The 143493-00-080-080-70-00 is ideal for centrifugal air compressors, refrigeration compressors, and process gas compressors where tight installation clearances are common. The 8.0-inch unthreaded length and 8.0-inch overall case length provide extended reach for deep mounting applications.
The 143493-00-080-080-70-00 delivers an Average Scale Factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), which is the most common output for eddy current transducers and ensures compatibility with standard monitoring systems. Its linear range of 1.5 mm (60 mils) exceeds that of the older 3000-series 190 Transducer System, providing more measurement capability in a compact package. The 143493-00-080-080-70-00's enhanced sideview and small target characteristics make it a versatile solution for both radial and axial position measurements in challenging machine geometries.
The 143493-00-080-080-70-00 incorporates Bently Nevada's patented TiLoc molding method for a robust bond between the probe tip and body, and CableLoc technology providing 220 N (50 lb) pull strength. The gold-plated brass ClickLoc connectors lock into place to prevent loosening. The 143493-00-080-080-70-00 has increased chemical resistance compared to the 3300 RAM probe, allowing its use in process compressor applications. Connector protectors are recommended for use on the probe-to-extension cable connection to prevent liquids from entering the ClickLoc connectors.
The 143493-00-080-080-70-00 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Centrifugal Air & Gas Compressors: Ideal for high-speed, compact turbocompressors utilized in manufacturing plant air supply or chemical processing.
- Industrial Refrigeration Equipment: Used extensively on large-scale chilling compressors and process gas chillers
- Small-Diameter Shaft Assets: Optimized for measuring radial vibration on extremely small shafts with a diameter under 51 mm (2 inches).
- Constrained Geometry Enclosures: Deployed in confined machinery housings featuring restricted counterbore clearances, or where rear-view/side-view metal cross-talk must be mitigated.
- Temperature Resilience: The probe body and tip handle a broad operating range, typically from -34°C to +177°C (-30°F to +350°F) under demanding industrial environments.
- Corrosive & Chemical Exposure: Constructed with advanced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip molds and stainless steel cases to resist synthetic oils, lubricating fluids, and chemical vapors.
- Pressure Sealing: Built with high-grade sealing features (such as internal Viton O-rings) to prevent machine process pressure or oil leakage from bypassing the probe casing.
- Vibration and Shock Resistance: Robust enough to handle high continuous mechanical vibration without signal drift or structural fracturing.
- Transducer System Signal Output: The complete system (probe + extension cable + Proximitor sensor) generates an analog voltage output at 7.87 mV/mil (310 mV/mm) proportional to the static gap and dynamic motion.
- Radial Vibration & Position: Observes relative dynamic motion and centerline alignment within the fluid-film bearing.
- Axial (Thrust) Position: Tracks physical thrust gap shifts on small flat surfaces down to 15 mm (0.6 inches) to prevent rotor-stator collisions.
- Integration Framework: The sensor connects directly to edge hardware such as the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Monitoring System (e.g., 3500/40M or 3500/42M modules).
