Information

Overview Manuals Machinery Monitoring Role Replacement Engineering

Features:

  • Designed for the established Bently Nevada 7200 proximity-transducer platform.
  • Uses eddy-current proximity measurement for shaft-relative machine monitoring.
  • Requires compatible electronics and cabling to establish the complete measurement chain.
The Bently Nevada 21500-00-32-10-00 is a legacy proximity probe associated with the 7200 Series 5 mm and 8 mm proximity transducer family. Bently Nevada describes the 7200 technology as a non-contacting, gap-to-voltage transducer system that measures static and dynamic distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive target. This measurement principle is used for machinery condition monitoring where shaft-relative movement must be detected without physical contact.

The probe forms only one part of the complete proximity measurement system. Bently Nevada's technical guidance emphasizes the importance of maintaining compatible probe, cable, and Proximitor combinations and specifically recommends using genuine Bently Nevada components within a matched system rather than mixing eddy-current components from different manufacturers.

The 21500-00-32-10-00 Bently Nevada 7200 Series 5 mm Proximity Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Within a compatible 7200 system, proximity measurements can be used for shaft-relative displacement and vibration monitoring. Bently Nevada's current proximity-sensor documentation describes proximity systems as suitable for rotor shaft position and vibration measurement within fluid-film bearing clearances.
When replacing a 21500-00-32-10-00, verify the original installed 7200 system, mating electronics, cable arrangement, mounting dimensions, probe gap, target material, and monitoring-channel requirements. A visually similar modern probe should not be selected solely by probe diameter or thread size.

Technical notes

The specifications for this model are clearly defined: "21500" designates the base series of imperial-standard mounting probes with a tip diameter of 0.300 inches (approx. 8 mm); the first suffix "-00" indicates an unthreaded tip length of 0 inches (i.e., a fully threaded design); "-32" specifies a total length of 3.2 inches for the threaded stainless steel housing; the core suffix "-10" denotes an integrated cable with a factory-set electrical length of 1.0 meter (39 inches); and the final suffix "-00" signifies the basic configuration—featuring a standard flexible-jacket cable without armor and carrying no hazardous area agency approvals—making it suitable for safe, non-hazardous areas within a plant.

Non-Contact Displacement Detection

The Bently Nevada 21500-00-32-10-00 belongs to the legacy 7200 Series proximity-probe system, a Bently Nevada eddy-current measurement technology used for non-contact measurement between a probe tip and a conductive machine target. Within a compatible 7200 transducer system, proximity measurement can provide information on shaft-relative position and dynamic vibration for machinery condition monitoring. Bently Nevada's current technical material continues to identify the 7200 family as a distinct proximity-system family alongside its newer 3300 XL systems.

Matched Transducer-System Operation

The 21500 probe is not an independent measuring instrument; it operates as part of a compatible Bently Nevada proximity transducer chain consisting of the probe, associated cabling, signal-conditioning electronics, and monitoring equipment. Bently Nevada emphasizes that proximity probes, cables, and Proximitor sensors must be properly matched as a system and warns against mixing components from different manufacturers because electrical characteristics and measurement accuracy can be affected.

PRODUCT & ORDER FAQS

Questions buyers ask about 21500-00-32-10-00

  • How should the 21500-00-32-10-00 be identified for a replacement order?

    The 21500-00-32-10-00 is a Bently Nevada 7200 Series 5 mm proximity probe. The complete part number is important because the 7200 family contains multiple 21500 configurations with different mechanical and system arrangements. When ordering a replacement, the full 21500-00-32-10-00 identification should be retained rather than shortening it to “21500” or “21500 5 mm.” The installed nameplate and associated system documentation should be used to confirm the exact execution.
  • What equipment is this legacy 5 mm probe intended to operate with?

    The 21500 belongs to the 7200 Series proximity transducer system, which uses non-contact measurement of the distance between the probe tip and the observed target. Compatibility must be considered across the complete measurement chain, including the probe, associated cable, oscillator-demodulator/Proximitor electronics, and monitor input. A modern 3300 XL probe should not be substituted directly into an existing 7200 channel without an approved migration or interchangeability arrangement.
  • Where would a 21500 5 mm proximity probe normally be applied?

    The 7200 proximity system is intended for non-contact displacement measurement on rotating machinery, including measurement of shaft-relative motion. A 5 mm probe configuration can be used where the existing machinery-monitoring design specifically calls for the 7200 5 mm transducer system. For an existing plant installation, the application should be confirmed from the original machinery drawing and monitor channel rather than selecting a 21500 solely because the probe diameter is 5 mm
  • What needs to be checked before installing this particular 21500?

    For this legacy configuration, verify the complete part number, mounting arrangement, probe location, target geometry, cable routing, connector condition, matched electronics, and required probe gap before installation. The most important point is that the probe should remain compatible with the original 7200 measurement chain. If the installed nameplate is unclear, clear photographs of the probe and its identification marking can be supplied for configuration checking before purchase.
  • Is the 21500-00-32-10-00 still an active Bently Nevada product?

    The 21500/7200 5 mm family is a legacy product line, and current market references identify comparable 21500 configurations as discontinued by the manufacturer. This does not automatically mean that an unused original unit cannot be supplied. Moore Automated specializes in sourcing legacy and obsolete industrial spare parts, so availability should be checked against the complete 21500-00-32-10-00 identification.
  • If the OEM has discontinued it, can Moore Automated still provide a new original unit?

    Yes. Moore Automated supplies new and original products with a one-year warranty. For legacy products such as the 21500 series, previously purchased inventory may remain unused in warehouse storage. We can also provide actual product photographs and available technical manuals so the customer can compare the physical probe, identification marking, connector arrangement, and configuration before purchase.
  • What documentation can accompany the 21500, and can you check the price?

    Available supplier documentation includes COO, COC, test reports, and a warranty letter. For applicable Bently Nevada products, Moore Automated can also provide available COO, DOC, COC, testing, and calibration certificates, with requested documents packed together with the shipment when available. If you are ready to purchase this exact legacy configuration, we can check for a special discount. Sending us your target price allows us to apply for a discount more efficiently.
  • How will this obsolete probe be shipped, and are you an authorized Bently Nevada agent?

    DHL and FedEx door-to-door delivery are supported. Moore Automated is not a Bently Nevada authorized agent, but we supply the same branded products through our sourcing channels. Before dispatch, we can confirm the complete 21500-00-32-10-00 part number and provide available photographs and documentation. For an obsolete 7200-series item, this full configuration verification is particularly important because similar-looking 21500 probes are not necessarily interchangeable.
