Product Description

Precision Mechanical Simulation for Transducer Calibration

The Bently Nevada TK-3E (Part Number 177313-02-02-00) is an electric-driven proximity system test kit designed to simulate shaft vibration and position with laboratory-grade precision. Unlike the air-driven versions, the TK-3E utilizes a reliable electric motor to drive the wobble plate, providing a consistent signal for verifying the calibration of Bently Nevada proximity probes and Proximitor sensors. This kit is a fundamental tool for ensuring that machinery protection systems, such as the 3500 series racks, receive accurate inputs and respond correctly to actual vibration levels.

Dynamic and Static Testing Capabilities

Equipped with a precision spindle micrometer and a motor-driven wobble plate, the TK-3E facilitates both static (DC) and dynamic (AC) verification. The micrometer allows for precise incremental movement of a target button (made of AISI 4140 alloy steel) to verify the linearity of the proximity probe's voltage-to-distance curve. Simultaneously, the electric motor can simulate vibration amplitudes from 50 μm to 254 μm, allowing engineers to confirm monitor alarm setpoints and overall system health. This specific configuration (177313-02-02-00) is tailored for Metric units and includes a European power cord, making it ideal for international industrial sites.
