Features:
- 5 mm and 8 mm Standard Mount Probe
- 7200 Proximity Transducer Systems 5 mm and 8 mm
- Noncontacting, gap-to-voltage transducer systems
The 7200 5 mm and 8 mm Proximity Transducer Systems are noncontacting, gap-to-voltage transducer systems that measure static as well as dynamic distances between the probe tip and the observed target. The general application is any requirement for an accurate, noncontacting displacement measurement. However, the most common use is for shaft position and vibration measurements on rotating and reciprocating machinery.
They are designed for use with virtually any machine type including gas and steam turbines, compressors, pumps, centrifuges, electric motors and generators. The systems offer 80 mils (2 mm) of linear measuring range and are compatible with API 670 requirements.
The 21504-000-020-05-02 Bently Nevada 8 mm Standard Mount Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The 5 mm and 8 mm systems use the same type of Proximitor. Both 5 and 9 metre Proximitors are available. A threeconductor, shielded cable provides the signal output and power source input between 7200 Proximitors and Bently Nevada monitors. Proximitors can be located up to 1,000 feet from standard Bently Nevada monitors without degradation of performance.
Due to its small outer diameter (5mm), this probe is primarily used in small to medium-sized rotating machinery where space is limited:
Small to medium-sized turbine machinery: such as small steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and expanders.
Motors and pumps: used to monitor the wear and vibration of bearings in motor spindles or high-speed pumps.
Bearing condition monitoring: mounted on hydrodynamic bearings (sliding bearings), measuring the dynamic movement of the shaft relative to the bearing bush.
Keyphasor applications: used to measure rotational speed or as a phase reference signal to aid in the analysis of mechanical balance.
