Bently Nevada 100A1000 | Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 100A1000 is a high-precision eddy current proximity probe designed for the continuous monitoring of vibration and axial position in critical rotating machinery. By utilizing advanced non-contacting sensing technology, this probe measures the minute distance between the probe tip and the rotating shaft, converting mechanical motion into accurate electrical signals when paired with a Proximitor sensor.
