BENTLY 84152-01

Product introduction

The 84152-01 from Bently Nevada is a precision calibration tool specifically designed for verifying and calibrating 3300 series proximity probes, including the 330106-05-30-10-02-00 system, which are critical components in machinery protection systems like the 3300/20-12-01-03-00-00 thrust position monitor. This handheld device provides accurate displacement measurements essential for ensuring the reliability of vibration and position monitoring systems in industrial environments.

As a portable calibration solution, 84152-01 bridges the gap between laboratory precision and field usability, allowing technicians to verify probe performance at installation sites rather than relying solely on factory calibration. Its compatibility with 3300 series probes and monitors ensures that the entire measurement chain—from sensor to monitor—maintains specified accuracy.

In machinery protection ecosystems, 84152-01 plays a vital role in preventive maintenance programs, enabling periodic verification of probe calibration to detect drift or degradation before it affects monitoring accuracy. This capability ensures that critical equipment like turbines, compressors, and motors remain protected by reliable measurement data, supporting both safety and operational efficiency.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Laboratory-grade accuracy in a portable design: 84152-01 delivers ±0.002 mm measurement accuracy in a lightweight, handheld form factor, eliminating the need to transport sensitive probes to calibration laboratories. This precision ensures that proximity probes like the 330106-05-30-10-02-00 maintain their 8 mV/mil sensitivity specification, which is critical for the proper operation of monitors such as 3300/20-12-01-03-00-00.

Probe-specific compatibility: The tool is engineered specifically for 3300 series proximity probes, featuring a calibrated target surface that matches the material and finish requirements of Bently Nevada sensors. This design ensures accurate calibration results that directly correlate to real-world operating conditions, unlike generic calibration tools that may introduce measurement errors.

User-friendly operation: 84152-01 features an intuitive LCD display with 0.001 mm resolution and simple controls, allowing technicians of varying experience levels to perform accurate calibrations. The battery-powered design provides up to 50 hours of continuous use, enabling full-day calibration sessions without external power sources—a significant advantage in field environments.

Traceable calibration: Each 84152-01 includes an NIST-traceable calibration certificate, ensuring compliance with quality standards and regulatory requirements. This traceability is essential for audit trails in regulated industries like power generation and oil and gas, where measurement reliability directly impacts safety and compliance reporting.

Typical application scenarios

In power generation facilities, 84152-01 is used during turbine maintenance outages to calibrate 330106-05-30-10-02-00 proximity probes that feed thrust position data to 3300/20-12-01-03-00-00 monitors. Technicians use the tool to verify probe linearity across the 0-2.5 mm range, ensuring accurate detection of axial shaft movement that could indicate bearing wear or rotor imbalance. This calibration ensures turbine protection systems trigger alarms at precise thresholds, preventing catastrophic failures during operation.

Oil and gas processing plants utilize 84152-01 during compressor commissioning and turnaround activities. The tool calibrates proximity probes connected to machinery protection systems, verifying that measurements remain accurate after transportation and installation. By ensuring probe calibration before system startup, 84152-01 helps prevent false alarms or missed faults in critical compression equipment, supporting reliable pipeline operations and refining processes.

Manufacturing facilities employ 84152-01 as part of preventive maintenance programs for motor and generator monitoring systems. Technicians perform quarterly calibrations of proximity probes, using the tool to detect drift that could affect vibration and position measurements. This proactive approach ensures that 3300/20-12-01-03-00-00 monitors receive accurate data, enabling timely detection of issues like rotor misalignment or coupling wear in production-critical machinery.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Calibration preparation: Before using 84152-01, ensure the tool is within its calibration validity period (typically 12 months from certification). Verify battery voltage is above 4.0V using the built-in battery check function. Clean the calibration target surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants that could affect measurements. For best results, allow 84152-01 to acclimate to ambient temperature for 30 minutes when moving between environments with temperature differences greater than 10°C.

Maintenance suggestions: To maintain accuracy, store 84152-01 in its protective case when not in use, avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or mechanical shock. Replace batteries when low-battery indicator appears to prevent measurement errors. Annually, have the tool re-certified by Bently Nevada or an accredited calibration service to maintain NIST traceability. Inspect the target surface regularly for scratches or wear, and replace the target if damage is detected to ensure calibration accuracy for probes like 330106-05-30-10-02-00.
