Description
BENTLY 135613-02 3300 XL Proximity Probe System
Product Overview:BENTLY 135613-02
The BENTLY 135613-02 is a high-precision 3300 XL Proximity Probe System designed for continuous monitoring of shaft displacement and vibration in critical rotating machinery. As a core component of Bently Nevada’s 3300 Series Machinery Protection System, this probe system converts mechanical movements into electrical signals, enabling real-time analysis of shaft position, vibration amplitude, and dynamic behavior in turbines, compressors, and generators. The 135613-02 integrates seamlessly with 3300 Series monitors (e.g., 3300/42M) and 3500 Series rack systems, delivering reliable measurements to support predictive maintenance and prevent catastrophic failures across industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing.
Featuring a rugged stainless-steel construction, the BENTLY 135613-02 includes a proximity probe, extension cable, and (position monitor) designed for harsh industrial environments. The probe’s 8 mm diameter tip provides a measurement range of 0–250 mils (0–6.35 mm) with ±0.5% linearity, ensuring precise detection of shaft movements. Its hermetically sealed enclosure (IP65-rated) and corrosion-resistant materials protect against dust, moisture, and chemical exposure, while the system’s wide temperature range (-40°C to +177°C) makes it suitable for high-temperature applications like turbine casings. The 135613-02 supports standard 2-wire installations, simplifying integration with existing monitoring networks and reducing installation complexity.
In automation ecosystems, the 135613-02 serves as the front-end sensor for machinery protection systems, feeding real-time displacement data to monitoring modules for trend analysis, alarm activation, and shutdown triggering. Its compatibility with industry standards (e.g., API 670) ensures compliance with safety regulations, while the low-output impedance and built-in signal conditioning minimize electromagnetic interference. By providing actionable insights into shaft health, this probe system helps reduce unplanned downtime, optimize maintenance schedules, and extend equipment lifespan in mission-critical operations.

Key Features and Advantages:BENTLY 135613-02
High-Accuracy Displacement Measurement: The 135613-02 provides precise shaft displacement readings with ±0.5% linearity, enabling early detection of misalignment, bearing wear, or shaft rubs. Its wide measurement range (0–250 mils) accommodates both small and large machinery movements, supporting comprehensive health analysis.
Rugged Industrial Design: The probe’s stainless-steel housing and IP65 rating protect against harsh environmental factors, including water jets, dust, and corrosive gases. The system’s high-temperature tolerance (probe up to +177°C) makes it suitable for direct mounting on hot surfaces like turbine casings without additional cooling.
Seamless System Integration: Compatible with BENTLY’s 3300 and 3500 Series monitoring systems, the 135613-02 simplifies integration with existing infrastructure. The standard 2-wire configuration and industry-standard output (4–20 mA) allow easy connectivity to PLCs, DCS, and SCADA systems, reducing integration costs.
Low Noise and High Reliability: The built-in signal conditioning and shielded cable minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean displacement signals. The probe’s non-contact sensing principle eliminates wear and tear, enhancing long-term reliability and reducing maintenance needs.
Wide Application Flexibility: Suitable for both radial vibration and axial displacement monitoring, the 135613-02 supports diverse machinery types, from small motors to large turbines. Its modular design (probe, cable, monitor) allows flexible installation in tight spaces or remote locations.
Application Areas:BENTLY 135613-02
The BENTLY 135613-02 is essential for machinery health monitoring in industries where equipment reliability is critical:
- Oil & Gas: Monitors shaft displacement in compressors, pumps, and turbines at refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms to detect misalignment or bearing degradation, preventing costly shutdowns.
- Power Generation: Installed on steam turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment in thermal, hydro, and nuclear plants to ensure safe operation and grid stability.
- Manufacturing: Used in high-speed rotating machinery (e.g., motors, fans, conveyors) in automotive, chemical, and food processing facilities to maintain production continuity and product quality.
- Aerospace & Defense: Deployed on test stands and propulsion systems to analyze shaft dynamics, ensuring compliance with rigorous performance standards.
Specific applications include:
- Radial Vibration Analysis: Measures shaft vibration amplitude to identify imbalance or misalignment issues before they escalate into catastrophic failures.
- Axial Displacement Monitoring: Tracks thrust bearing wear in turbines and compressors, triggering alarms when clearances exceed safe limits.
- Shaft Position Sensing: Monitors rotor position in critical processes, such as steam turbine lube oil system operation, to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
