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 22811-00-03-05-02 Bently Nevada Standard Mount Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

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.
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.
This probe is primarily used to monitor the health and position of hydrodynamic bearings in heavy industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and mining:
Radial Vibration Monitoring: Measures the movement of the shaft within the bearing to detect rotor imbalance, misalignment, or shaft cracks.
Axial (Thrust) Position: Tracks the longitudinal movement of the shaft to prevent catastrophic contact between rotating and stationary components in turbines and compressors.
Velocity and Phase Measurement: Provides a timing signal per revolution for tachometer functionality and vibration phase analysis, serving as a key phaser reference.
Average Radial Shaft Position: Determines the "attitude angle" to assess rotor stability and alignment.
