Description
BENTLY 84152-01 3300 XL Proximity Probe
Product Overview
The BENTLY 84152-01 is a high-precision 3300 XL Proximity Probe 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 converts mechanical movements into electrical signals, enabling real-time analysis of shaft position, vibration amplitude, and dynamic behavior in turbines, compressors, and generators. The 84152-01 integrates seamlessly with 3300 Series monitors (e.g., 3300/42M) and 3500 Series rack systems, delivering reliable measurements to support predictive maintenance across industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing.
Featuring a rugged stainless-steel construction, the BENTLY 84152-01 includes an 8 mm diameter probe tip with a measurement range of 0–250 mils (0–6.35 mm) and ±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 probe’s wide temperature range (-40°C to +177°C) makes it suitable for high-temperature applications like turbine casings. The 84152-01 supports standard 2-wire installations, simplifying integration with existing monitoring networks and reducing installation complexity.
In automation ecosystems, the 84152-01 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 helps reduce unplanned downtime, optimize maintenance schedules, and extend equipment lifespan in mission-critical operations.

Key Features and Advantages
High-Accuracy Displacement Measurement: The 84152-01 provides precise shaft displacement readings with ±0.5% linearity, enabling early detection of misalignment, bearing wear, or shaft rubs. Its wide measurement range 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 high-temperature tolerance (up to +177°C) allows direct mounting on hot surfaces without additional cooling.
Seamless System Integration: Compatible with BENTLY’s 3300 and 3500 Series monitoring systems, the 84152-01 simplifies integration with existing infrastructure. The standard threaded mount and industry-compatible output ensure easy installation in diverse machinery setups.
Low Noise and High Reliability: The probe’s non-contact sensing principle eliminates wear and tear, while shielded cabling minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean displacement signals. This reliability reduces maintenance needs and enhances long-term performance.
Wide Application Flexibility: Suitable for both radial vibration and axial displacement monitoring, the 84152-01 supports diverse machinery types, from small motors to large turbines. Its modular design allows flexible installation in tight spaces or remote locations.
Application Areas
The BENTLY 84152-01 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.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the BENTLY 84152-01, verify the mounting surface is flat and free of debris. Use a torque wrench to secure the probe housing (recommended torque: 11–14 N·m) and route the extension cable away from high-voltage lines to minimize interference. Connect the probe to a compatible 3300 Series preamplifier, ensuring proper grounding to reduce noise. Calibrate the system with a known displacement source (e.g., calibration fixture) to validate measurement accuracy before commissioning.
