Features:

  • Universal probe mount accommodating probe diameters from 5 mm to 19 mm (0.197 in to 0.75 in)
  • Removable spindle micrometer assembly for transducer system and position monitor calibration
  • Motor-driven wobble plate generating mechanical vibration signals from 50 to 254 μm (2 to 10 mils) peak-to-peak
The TK3-2E Proximity System Test Kit functions as a dedicated calibration instrument designed to simulate shaft vibration and position for calibrating Bently Nevada monitors. It verifies the operating condition of the monitor readouts as well as the condition of the proximity transducer system, solving the critical problem of measurement drift and calibration uncertainty in proximity-based monitoring systems. A properly calibrated system using the TK3-2E ensures that transducer inputs and the resulting monitor readings remain accurate, providing essential confidence in machinery protection system integrity.

For position monitor calibration, the TK3-2E utilizes a removable spindle micrometer assembly to check the transducer system and position monitor calibration. This assembly features a universal probe mount that accommodates probe diameters from 5 mm to 19 mm, holding the probe securely while the user moves the target toward or away from the probe tip in calibrated increments. The output from the Proximitor Sensor is recorded using a voltmeter, enabling precise verification of position linearity. The spindle micrometer assembly on the TK3-2E also incorporates a convenient magnetic base, allowing ease of use in the field without requiring permanent bench-mounted fixtures.

Vibration monitors are calibrated using the TK3-2E motor-driven wobble plate. A swing-arm assembly located over the wobble plate holds the proximity probe in place, utilizing the same universal probe mount design found in the spindle micrometer assembly. By applying the absolute scale factor of the proximity probe in conjunction with a multimeter, the user adjusts the probe to locate a position where the desired amount of mechanical vibration is present, as determined by peak-to-peak DC voltage output. No oscilloscope is needed with the TK3-2E. The user then compares the vibration monitor's reading to the known mechanical vibration signal input, which the TK3-2E generates from 50 to 254 μm (2 to 10 mils) peak-to-peak.

The TK3-2E 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).

General

  • Manufacturer Bently Nevada
  • Model TK3-2E
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family TK-3E 177313-02-00,TK-3E 177313-01-00,TK-3E 177313-03-00
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.
  • Static Calibration (Position): Utilizes a detachable spindle micrometer assembly to adjust target distances in calibrated increments. This verifies probe linearity, checks loop gap voltage, and calibrates axial position monitors.
  • Dynamic Calibration (Vibration): Employs an electric motor-driven wobble plate (wobbulator) to introduce mechanical oscillations ranging from 50 µm to 254 µm (2 to 10 mils) peak-to-peak. This simulates radial shaft vibration to test monitor readouts and alert/trip thresholds.
  • Speed Simulation: Features a Keyphasor notch on the side of the rotating wobble plate to simulate shaft rotative speed and test tachometer or phase-triggering functionality.
  • Power Delivery: Dual electrical input ratings supporting 95–125 Vac or 190–250 Vac at 50/60 Hz.
  • Target Materials: Standard configurations feature an AISI 4140 Alloy Steel target button and wobble plate, matching standard industrial machine shaft metallurgy.
  • Mechanical Fixtures: Includes a universal probe mount accommodating probe diameters from 5 mm to 19 mm (0.197 in to 0.75 in), accompanied by 10 specific adapter bushings.
  • Measurement Integration: Built-in mechanical dial micrometer measures the exact displacement on the wobble plate, eliminating the need for an oscilloscope during dynamic verification.
  • Transducer Systems: Fully compatible with Bently Nevada Proximitor systems, including the industry-standard 3300 XL 5mm, 8mm, 11mm, and 25mm series proximity probes, along with their matching extension cables.
  • Machinery Protection Monitors: Interoperates directly with continuous monitoring platforms like the Bently Nevada 3500 Series and legacy 3300 Series chassis to verify backend visual readouts, analog recorder outputs (4-20 mA), and digital alert relays.
  • Test Instruments: Designed to feed raw output data cleanly into standard industrial multimeters and portable data collectors for real-time incremental scale factor (ISF) analysis.
Description
The Bently Nevada TK3-2E Proximity System Test Kit is a specialized calibration instrument designed to address the critical need for accurate verification of proximity transducer systems and vibration monitoring equipment. This TK3-2E test kit simulates shaft vibration and position to calibrate Bently Nevada monitors, ensuring that transducer inputs and resulting monitor readings remain accurate over time. By providing a known mechanical reference signal, the TK3-2E solves the fundamental problem of measurement drift and calibration uncertainty in proximity-based monitoring systems, allowing maintenance teams to verify both monitor readout integrity and the overall health of the proximity transducer system.

For position monitor calibration, the TK3-2E utilizes a removable spindle micrometer assembly to check the transducer system and position monitor calibration. This assembly features a universal probe mount that accommodates probe diameters from 5 mm to 19 mm (0.197 in to 0.75 in), holding the probe securely while the user moves the target toward or away from the probe tip in calibrated increments. The output from the Proximitor Sensor is then recorded using a voltmeter, enabling precise position linearity verification. Additionally, the spindle micrometer assembly on the TK3-2E includes a convenient magnetic base, making it exceptionally practical for field use where bench-mounted setups are not available.

When calibrating vibration monitors, the TK3-2E employs a motor-driven wobble plate to generate a controlled mechanical vibration signal. A swing-arm assembly positioned over the wobble plate holds the proximity probe in place, utilizing the same universal probe mount design found in the spindle micrometer assembly. By applying the absolute scale factor of the proximity probe in conjunction with a multimeter, the user adjusts the probe to locate a position where the desired amount of mechanical vibration is present, as determined by peak-to-peak DC voltage output. Notably, this TK3-2E calibration process eliminates the need for an oscilloscope, simplifying field procedures while allowing direct comparison between the vibration monitor's reading and the known mechanical vibration signal input. The mechanical vibration signal generated by the TK3-2E can range from 50 to 254 μm (2 to 10 mils) peak-to-peak, covering the typical fault detection ranges encountered in industrial rotating machinery.
