Features:

  • 80 mils (2 mm) linear range with 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm) scale factor provides precise non-contact displacement measurement for shaft position and vibration.
  • PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) tip construction offers excellent chemical resistance to oils, solvents, and corrosive agents in harsh industrial environments.
  • Frequency response from DC to 10 kHz captures both static position and dynamic vibration signals for comprehensive machinery monitoring.
The 21504-000-020-05-02 is built on the 8 mm eddy current platform, offering 80 mils (2 mm) of linear range with a scale factor of 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm). This combination delivers the sensitivity needed to detect subtle changes in shaft position and vibration amplitude, from static thrust shifts to high-frequency dynamic events.

The 21504-000-020-05-02’s tip is molded from PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), a high-performance plastic that withstands direct contact with air, water, lube oil, ammonium hydroxide, 10% sulfuric acid, MEK, and DMF. This chemical resilience makes it particularly valuable in process compressors, chemical plants, and offshore facilities where exposure to aggressive substances is routine. Unlike materials that can swell or degrade over time, PPS maintains its dimensional stability and electrical properties, ensuring consistent measurement accuracy throughout the probe’s service life.

All 7200 series components—probes, extension cables, and Proximitors—are designed to be completely interchangeable when matched by length. The 21504-000-020-05-02 can be replaced with any other 8 mm 7200 probe of the same length without recalibration or component matching, dramatically simplifying field service.

The 21504-000-020-05-02 Bently Nevada Standard Mount Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

General

  • Manufacturer GE / Bently Nevada
  • Model 21504-000-020-05-02
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family 21504-000-020-50-02,21504-000-020-90-02,21504-000-020-05-00
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Radial Vibration Monitoring: Measures axial vibration within bearing clearances to diagnose imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.
  • Thrust/Axial Position Monitoring: Monitors rotor axial movement to prevent collisions between the rotor and stator (e.g., impeller and casing).
  • Speed/Phase Reference: Serves as a keyphasor signal source, providing speed data and vibration phase reference.
  • Important Note: The 21504 probe itself is a purely analog passive component and does not contain a microprocessor; therefore, no firmware updates are required.
  • System Level: Firmware updates typically occur on the monitoring instruments connected to the probe (e.g., Bently Nevada 3500/42M displacement card or 3300 monitor).
  • Hardware Evolution: Although there is no firmware update, Bently Nevada periodically improves the probe's physical materials (e.g., cable shielding or connector insulation). It is recommended to check the probe and proximitor model compatibility during maintenance (e.g., the 3300 XL probe must be used with the 3300 XL proximitor).
  • Gap Setting: The gap is typically set by measuring the preamplifier's output voltage using a multimeter. For a standard 3300 XL system, the typical linear center point voltage is -10 VDC (corresponding to approximately a 1.27 mm gap).
  • Software Setup: In the 3500 Rack Configuration software, the correct sensor type must be selected (e.g., "3300 XL 8mm"). The correct scale factor must be set; the standard value is 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm).
  • Hardware compatibility: The cable length (2.0 meters) of this model must be matched with the total length of the preamplifier's extension cable (e.g., a total length of 5 meters or 9 meters), otherwise measurement errors will occur.
Description
The 21504-000-020-05-02 is an 8 mm eddy current proximity probe designed for non-contact shaft position and vibration measurements on rotating machinery. It offers a linear range of 80 mils (2 mm) with a scale factor of 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm), providing precise output proportional to the gap between probe tip and target.

With a frequency response from DC to 10 kHz, the 21504-000-020-05-02 captures both static shaft position and dynamic vibration signals. It is compatible with 7200 series Proximitors and extension cables, and can be used in system lengths of 5 or 9 meters when combined with appropriate extension cables. 

The 21504-000-020-05-02 operates over a temperature range of -30°F to +350°F (-34°C to +177°C) and is suitable for applications such as radial vibration, axial thrust position, shaft average radial position, eccentricity, and Keyphasor measurements.

This probe solves the challenge of obtaining accurate, repeatable shaft measurements in harsh industrial environments. The 21504-000-020-05-02’s PPS tip resists chemical attack, while its wide temperature range and rugged construction ensure reliable operation in turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators.
