Where This Product Is Used
The Bently Nevada 21504-00-40-10-02 proximity probe is a precision eddy-current displacement sensor engineered for continuous, non-contact vibration and position measurement on rotating machinery. It is deployed in the most demanding industrial environments, including:
- Steam & Gas Turbines – Shaft radial vibration and axial position monitoring per API 670
- Centrifugal & Axial Compressors – Real-time rotor orbit and differential expansion measurement
- Pumps & Fans – Bearing journal vibration surveillance in petrochemical and power plants
- Gearboxes – Gear mesh frequency and shaft displacement tracking
- Hydro Turbines – Slow-speed shaft runout and eccentricity monitoring
- Marine Propulsion Systems – Continuous shaft monitoring in offshore and naval applications
Wherever rotating equipment reliability is mission-critical, the 21504-00-40-10-02 delivers the sub-micron resolution engineers depend on to prevent catastrophic failure.

Complete System Bill of Materials
The 3300 XL proximity transducer system requires three matched components. A typical channel BOM:
- Probe: 21504-00-40-10-02 (this item) – 8 mm probe, 1.0 m integral cable
- Extension Cable: 330130-080-00-00 – 8.0 m extension (total system cable = 9.0 m)
- Driver / Oscillator: 330180-X1-05 – 3300 XL 8 mm driver, DIN rail mount
- Monitor (optional): 3500/42M – Proximitor / Seismic Monitor for rack-based protection
Note: Probe, extension cable, and driver must be ordered as a matched set calibrated to the same total cable length for accurate scale factor.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 21504-00-40-10-02 replace an older 21504 series probe directly?
A: Yes. The 3300 XL 8 mm probe family maintains backward compatibility with 3300 series drivers and monitors when total cable length is matched. Verify the extension cable length to maintain the calibrated scale factor.
Q: What target material is this probe calibrated for?
A: Standard calibration is for AISI 4140 steel. For Inconel, titanium, or other alloys, a material-specific calibration factor must be applied at the driver. Contact Bently Nevada or your system integrator for correction curves.
Q: Is this probe suitable for axial position (thrust) measurement?
A: Yes. The 21504-00-40-10-02 is used for both radial vibration and axial position measurement. For thrust applications, ensure the driver channel is configured for DC position output and that the linear range covers the expected axial float.
Q: What is the maximum shaft speed this probe can monitor?
A: The probe’s frequency response extends to 10,000 Hz, making it suitable for high-speed machinery up to and beyond 100,000 RPM when used with appropriate signal conditioning.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Calibration documentation from the OEM or third-party NIST-traceable labs is available upon request for select inventory. Please inquire at the time of order.
