Brand Name:
Bently Nevada
An 8 mm probe configuration within the Bently Nevada 7200 proximity transducer family, intended for non-contact displacement measurement as part of a compatible probe, extension-cable and Proximitor arrangement.
The 7200 family uses an eddy-current measurement principle. The figures in the performance column describe the family-level system, not a guarantee of standalone probe performance outside a correctly matched assembly.

| Minimum recommended cable bend radius | 25.4 mm (1.0 in) for armored and unarmored cables |
| Probe case torque | Depends on case thread and mounting style; use the applicable probe specification |
Mechanical data above describes the 7200 probe family. Do not apply a generic torque value without identifying the exact mounting and thread configuration.
The probe is one part of a measurement chain. The probe, extension cable and Proximitor must be selected and installed as a compatible system.
Typical measurement applications include shaft position and vibration monitoring on rotating or reciprocating machinery, such as turbines, compressors, pumps, motors and generators.
When a monitoring channel reports an abnormal signal, investigate the complete transducer path instead of replacing the probe based on the symptom alone.
| Observed condition | Possible cause | Diagnostic direction |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor OK indication absent | Power supply, field wiring, transducer circuit or incorrect probe gap | Check the system supply, field connections and probe-to-target position before isolating individual components. |
| Transducer supply outside expected range | Faulty supply, field wiring or Proximitor | Compare the source voltage with the voltage measured at the transducer, then isolate the supply and wiring path. |
| Signal output at 0 VDC | Incorrect supply, shorted field wiring or a faulty Proximitor | Check supply conditions and shorts in the field wiring or terminal connections. |
| Signal between −1 VDC and 0 VDC | Probe too close to target, incorrect target surface, connector fault or an open/short circuit | Check probe gap and target geometry; inspect connections and test the probe and extension cable as separate components. |
| Unexpected change in trend | Possible transducer fault or a genuine change in machinery condition | Compare the signal with historical trends and machine operating conditions before concluding that the probe has failed. |
| Test equipment | Digital multimeter, spindle micrometer, 10 kΩ fixed resistor and a −24 VDC ± 1 V supply for the described scale-factor verification setup |
|---|---|
| VPS | Power-source voltage measured between the power source and common |
| VXDCR | Voltage at the transducer measured between −VT and COM |
| VSIG | Signal voltage measured between OUT and COM |
| System cable resistance reference | The manual gives nominal total resistance checks for 5 m and 9 m system arrangements; use the relevant system configuration and full troubleshooting procedure when testing. |
These checks require qualified personnel and suitable test arrangements. Isolate hazards and follow the site's machinery-protection and electrical safety procedures before troubleshooting.
For a quotation, provide the following details:
Clear part-number communication, sourcing coordination and quotation support for industrial automation and machinery-monitoring components.
It is identified as a Bently Nevada 7200-series proximity probe in the 8 mm product family.
The system measures the gap between the probe tip and a conductive target, supporting non-contact displacement and vibration measurement.
Do not assume cross-series compatibility. Match the probe, extension cable, Proximitor and monitoring arrangement to the applicable system specification.
Check supply voltage, field wiring, connector integrity, probe gap and target conditions before identifying a failed component.
