Bently Nevada TK-3 Proximity System Test Kit

The Bently Nevada TK-3 Proximity System Test Kit calibrates monitors by simulating shaft vibration and position, ensuring accurate transducer inputs and readings. Its spindle micrometer and motor-driven wobble plate assemblies, with universal probe mounts, allow precise static and dynamic probe verification. Users record outputs with a multimeter, adjusting for desired mechanical vibration (50–254 μm / 2–10 mils peak-to-peak) without needing an oscilloscope, enabling reliable comparison of monitor readings to known signals.

Description

The Bently Nevada TK-3 Proximity System Test Kit simulates shaft vibration and position to calibrate Bently Nevada monitors, ensuring accurate transducer inputs and readings. Its spindle micrometer assembly, with a universal probe mount (5–19 mm / 0.197–0.75 in), lets users move the target in precise increments and record output with a voltmeter. The magnetic base simplifies field use, supporting both static and dynamic probe verification.

For vibration calibration, a motor-driven wobble plate and swing-arm assembly hold the probe in place. Using the probe’s scale factor and a multimeter, users adjust for the desired mechanical vibration without an oscilloscope. The kit produces 50–254 μm (2–10 mils) peak-to-peak vibration, allowing accurate comparison of monitor readings to known signals.
