Features:
- Simulates Mechanical Shaft Vibration and Static Displacement for Monitor Calibration
- Integrates Electric-Driven Wobble Plate with Precision Metric Spindle Micrometer
- Verifies Proximitor Sensors and Readout Accuracy Across Various Probe Sizes
The Bently Nevada TK-3E 177313-02-02-00 operates as an electric-driven proximity system test kit, providing reliable mechanical signal simulation for calibrating vibration and position monitoring systems. It converts electrical power via a European power cord to drive its internal motor, utilizing a precision metric wobble plate and spindle micrometer to generate calibrated target motion for proximity transducers. By establishing known mechanical vibration (50 to 254 μm peak-to-peak) and static position inputs, the kit resolves the challenge of unverified sensor output and uncalibrated monitor channels without requiring an external oscilloscope.
The TK-3E 177313-02-02-00 performs essential diagnostic functions critical to machinery protection, directly ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the overall monitoring loop before critical equipment is brought online. One test kit is typically deployed per maintenance station or field service technician to verify probes ranging from 5 mm to 19 mm (0.197 in to 0.75 in) in diameter. The unit features a compact, portable enclosure with a universal probe mount, an electric wobble plate, and a removable spindle micrometer assembly equipped with a magnetic base for flexible field operation.
For static and dynamic calibration procedures, the TK-3E 177313-02-02-00 offers two distinct testing modes. In static testing, the spindle micrometer holds the probe while the user manually alters the target distance in metric increments, allowing precise recording of the Proximitor Sensor's DC voltage output to evaluate linearity. For dynamic testing, the swing-arm holds the probe over the motor-driven wobble plate to generate a mechanical vibration signal; technicians then measure the resulting peak-to-peak DC voltage on a multimeter and compare the known input directly against the vibration monitor readout to verify accuracy.
The TK-3E 177313-02-02-00 Bently Nevada Proximity System Test Kit may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
