3. Product features and technical highlights
High – precision non – contact measurement: The BENTLY 330106 – 05 – 30 – 90 – 02 – 05(CN) uses advanced electromagnetic induction technology to perform non – contact displacement measurements. In a large – scale power – generation turbine, the shaft rotates at high speeds, and any misalignment or wear can cause significant problems. The proximity probe system can accurately measure the shaft’s position relative to the bearing housing, detecting even the smallest deviations. For example, if the shaft starts to move off – center due to bearing wear, the probe will detect the change in the distance between the probe and the shaft surface, and this data can be used to trigger an alert or schedule maintenance before more serious damage occurs.
Wide operating temperature range and durability: The ability to operate in extreme temperatures, from – 54 °C to + 121 °C, makes this probe system suitable for a variety of industrial settings. In an oil – and – gas refinery, the equipment may be exposed to both extremely cold winter temperatures and high – heat process areas. The 330106 – 05 – 30 – 90 – 02 – 05(CN)’s robust construction, including its high – quality materials and design, ensures that it can withstand these harsh conditions without compromising its performance. The probe is resistant to vibration, shock, and chemical corrosion, further enhancing its durability in industrial environments.
Flexible cable length and installation options: The long – cable options, both the standard 9.14 m (30 feet) and the extendable up to 304.8 m (1000 feet), provide great flexibility in installation. In a large manufacturing plant with complex machinery layouts, the monitoring equipment may be located in a central control room, while the rotating machinery is spread out across the facility. The long – cable allows the probe to be installed directly on the machinery, even in hard – to – reach areas, and still transmit accurate data to the monitoring unit. The compact size of the probe, with its 5 mm diameter, also makes it easy to install in tight spaces around the rotating shaft, ensuring optimal measurement positions.
Broad frequency response for comprehensive monitoring: The DC to 10 kHz frequency response enables the probe system to capture a wide range of mechanical phenomena. In a high – speed compressor, low – frequency vibrations may be associated with long – term shaft misalignment or bearing degradation, while high – frequency vibrations could indicate issues such as blade – passing frequencies or mechanical resonances. The 330106 – 05 – 30 – 90 – 02 – 05(CN) can accurately measure and distinguish between these different frequency components, providing a comprehensive picture of the machinery’s health. This detailed data is invaluable for predictive maintenance, as it allows maintenance teams to identify the root cause of potential problems and take appropriate corrective actions.
4. Typical application scenarios
Power generation turbines: In power plants, whether they are steam – powered, gas – fired, or hydro – electric, turbines are the heart of the power – generation process. The BENTLY 330106 – 05 – 30 – 90 – 02 – 05(CN) is installed on the turbine shafts to monitor their position and vibration. In a large steam turbine, any deviation in the shaft’s position can lead to reduced efficiency and potential damage to the turbine blades. By continuously monitoring the shaft with this proximity probe system, power – plant operators can detect early signs of problems, such as unbalance or misalignment, and take corrective actions to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of the turbine. This helps to prevent costly power – outages and extend the lifespan of the turbine.
Oil and gas pumps and compressors: In the oil and gas industry, pumps and compressors are used to transport and process hydrocarbons. These machines operate under high pressures and often in harsh environments. The 330106 – 05 – 30 – 90 – 02 – 05(CN) is used to monitor the rotating shafts of these pumps and compressors. In a natural gas compressor, for example, bearing wear can cause the shaft to move out of position, which can lead to reduced compression efficiency and increased energy consumption. The proximity probe system can detect these changes in shaft position, allowing maintenance teams to schedule timely maintenance and prevent catastrophic failures. This is crucial for maintaining the continuous operation of oil and gas production and transportation systems.
Industrial manufacturing machinery: In manufacturing plants, various types of rotating machinery are used, such as motors, spindles, and conveyor belts. The BENTLY 330106 – 05 – 30 – 90 – 02 – 05(CN) can be used to monitor the performance of these machines. In a high – speed machining center, the spindle’s position and vibration need to be precisely controlled to ensure accurate machining. The proximity probe system can measure the spindle’s displacement and vibration, providing real – time feedback to the machine’s control system. This helps to improve the quality of the manufactured products and reduce machine downtime due to unexpected failures.
