The Bently Nevada TK3‑2E is an electric‑driven proximity system test kit designed to calibrate and verify the performance of proximity probes, Proximitor® sensors, and vibration monitoring systems used in critical rotating machinery. Unlike the TK‑3G (air‑driven), the TK3‑2E operates on electrical power, making it convenient for laboratory and plant environments where compressed air is not available.
