This probe is designed for use with a 5-meter Proximitor sensor only. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and standard cable provide easy installation and secure connections.

Industry Applications

The 146054-036-50-02-05 excels in monitoring vibration and position of turbine shafts, compressors, and large pumps. Its ceramic tip resists wear in high-temperature environments up to 177°C. Compared to standard proximity probes, the ceramic cap offers superior durability in abrasive conditions, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs. This makes it a cost-effective choice for continuous process industries like oil and gas, power generation, and petrochemicals.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation ensures accurate measurements. Mount the probe with the 3/8-24 thread into a rigid bracket or housing, ensuring the tip faces the target surface. Maintain the specified gap within the linear range (0.25 to 1.78 mm from target). Use the included miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for a secure cable attachment. Avoid sharp bends in the cable to prevent signal degradation. Always verify that the target material matches AISI 4140 steel for system accuracy.

Maintenance & Reliability

The 146054-036-50-02-05 requires minimal maintenance due to its robust stainless steel case and ceramic tip. Periodically inspect the cable and connector for damage. Clean the probe tip gently with a soft cloth if debris accumulates. Operating within the specified temperature and pressure ranges ensures long service life. With a 12-month factory warranty from Bently Nevada, this probe delivers reliable performance for years.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 146054-036-50-02-05, verify the total length (5.0 m) matches your installation distance. The probe is available in lengths of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, or 9 meters. Ensure your Proximitor sensor is compatible with the 5-meter probe. For applications requiring higher pressure ratings, contact our custom design department.
