Bently Nevada 177230-01-02-05 Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 177230-01-02-05 Proximity Probe is a component used for 

monitoring the condition of rotating machinery. It is designed to measure the 

position, vibration, and displacement of shafts and other components in industrial 

settings. This probe is part of Bently Nevada's range of proximity sensors, known 

for their accuracy and reliability in harsh environments.

Key Features:
High Precision: Provides accurate non-contact measurement of shaft displacement 

and vibration, crucial for effective machinery monitoring and protection.
Durable Design: Built to withstand challenging conditions such as high temperatures, 

dust, oil, and other contaminants, ensuring long-term reliability.
Non-Contact Operation: Measures the distance between the probe and a conductive 

target (like a rotating shaft) without physical contact, minimizing wear and extending 

the probe’s lifespan.
System Integration: Designed to work with Bently Nevada’s Proximitor® Sensors and 

other monitoring systems, providing real-time data for effective condition monitoring 

and predictive maintenance.

Key Parameters:
Probe Length: 5 meters (denoted by “05” in the model number), providing flexibility 

for various installation configurations and distances from the measurement point.
Tip Diameter: The standard tip diameter is usually around 8 mm, which is suitable 

for general-purpose applications in industrial machinery.
Thread Size: Typically 3/8-24 UNF, allowing for secure and versatile mounting in 

different machine setups.
Linear Range: Generally designed to measure up to 80 mils (2 mm) of linear 

displacement.
Operating Temperature: Designed to operate in a wide temperature range, often 

between -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to +250°F), but it is important to confirm the exact range for this model.
Frequency Response: Capable of high-frequency vibration monitoring, providing 

accurate readings even in rapidly rotating machinery.
