Description
BENTLY NEVADA 330180-51-00
1. Product Description
The BENTLY NEVADA 330180-51-00 is an 8 mm Proximitor® sensor designed for non-contact eddy current vibration and displacement monitoring of rotating machinery. As part of the 3300 XL Series, this sensor converts distance measurements into proportional analog signals, enabling real-time condition assessment of shafts, bearings, and machinery components. It supports dynamic vibration analysis, static position monitoring, and speed measurements, making it ideal for critical applications in oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing.
