Bently Nevada 109549-01 Photoelectric Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 109549-01 is a specialized photoelectric probe designed as a critical component of the 3300 XL NSv system. Unlike traditional eddy-current probes, this photoelectric sensor provides non-contact speed, vibration, and position measurements by utilizing optical reflection. It is specifically engineered for applications involving smaller shafts (under 51 mm) or flat targets, where traditional proximity sensors might face side-view constraints or installation challenges.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Optical Non-Contact Sensing: Utilizes light reflection rather than magnetic fields, allowing it to monitor targets that are traditionally difficult for eddy-current sensors to "see."

• Optimized for Small Assets: Specifically designed for machinery with reduced clearances and small diameter shafts, ensuring accurate data without probe interference.

• NSv System Integration: Part of the "Narrow Side View" (NSv) family, which minimizes error caused by the probe's own proximity to surrounding metal housing.

• Precision Tachometer Output: Provides clean, high-frequency pulses ideal for calculating rotational speed, phase angles, and Keyphasor® signals.

• Environmental Resilience: Constructed with durable materials to maintain optical clarity and signal integrity in oily or vibrating industrial atmospheres.
