Bently Nevada 177313-02-01 TK-3e Proximity Probe Tester

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 177313-02-01 TK-3e serves as the industry standard for verifying the mechanical and electrical integrity of proximity probe and vibration sensor systems. This 100% Brand New electric-driven instrument simulates shaft vibration and displacement with high precision. By providing a controlled environment for sensor verification, it eliminates guesswork during machinery commissioning and routine maintenance. Engineers rely on the TK-3e to ensure their machinery protection systems respond accurately to actual machine conditions, preventing catastrophic failures and optimizing predictive maintenance schedules.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Dynamic Simulation: The variable-speed electric motor rotates a wobble plate to simulate actual shaft vibration. This allows technicians to verify the frequency response of vibration monitors across their entire operating range.

• Static Precision: The spindle micrometer provides micron-level accuracy for calibrating proximity probes. It ensures the voltage-to-gap ratio (Linearity) matches the manufacturer’s specifications.

• Ruggedized Reliability: The IP54-rated enclosure protects the internal precision mechanics from the harsh realities of the plant floor. It withstands dust, moisture, and accidental impacts during transit.

• Universal Interface: The kit includes mounting brackets that accommodate various probe diameters and sensor types, making it a versatile "all-in-one" solution for diverse machinery fleets.

FAQs

• Does this kit support both static and dynamic testing? Yes. The TK-3e features a micrometer for static gap calibration and an electric motor-driven wobble plate for dynamic vibration simulation.

• How does the electric-driven model differ from the manual version? The 177313-02-01 uses an electric motor to provide consistent, hands-free rotation of the vibration target. This offers superior stability and repeatability compared to hand-cranked manual kits.

• Is the 177313-02-01 unit ready for global use? This specific part number includes the electric drive assembly. Ensure your local power supply matches the kit's voltage configuration (specified by the -02 option) for optimal performance.

• Can the TK-3e calibrate sensors from other manufacturers? While optimized for Bently Nevada systems, the TK-3e functions as a universal physical simulator. It calibrates any proximity or vibration system that utilizes standard mounting threads and targets.
