BENTLY 18745-04 Proximitor Sensor Product Documentation
1. Product Description
The BENTLY 18745-04 is a high-precision proximitor sensor designed for non-contact displacement and vibration monitoring in industrial machinery. As part of the Bently Nevada 7200 5mm/8mm series, this sensor measures static and dynamic distances between a probe tip and target surface, ensuring reliable performance in critical applications such as gas turbines, compressors, and pumps. The 18745-04 features a 5mm probe diameter and 9m cable length, offering a linear measurement range of 80 mils (2 mm) and compatibility with API 670 standards. It is widely used in rotating and reciprocating machinery to detect shaft misalignment, vibration, and axial movement.
