This electric-driven kit simulates both static and dynamic shaft conditions to ensure that monitoring hardware accurately reflects the behavior of rotating machinery. By utilizing a precision spindle micrometer and a motor-driven wobble plate, the TK-3E allows technicians to confirm that proximity probes are properly gapped and that the resulting voltage outputs align with established scale factors. It is a fundamental tool for maintaining the integrity of Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI), ensuring that machinery protection systems remain compliant with industry standards such as API 670.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Specifications and Operational Parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Component:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e177313-02-02-00\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Identification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTK-3E (Electric Driven)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProbe Support Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5 mm to 19 mm (0.197 in to 0.75 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVibration Simulation Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e50 to 254 µm (2 to 10 mils) peak-to-peak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrometer Accuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePrecision spindle for static gap calibration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e115V or 230V AC (model dependent)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Mass:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5.5 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCasing Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e30 x 25 x 20 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting System:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIntegrated magnetic base for stable bench or field use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eProximity System Test Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUSA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIndustrial Maintenance Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Monitor Verification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUses the motorized wobble plate to simulate mechanical vibration, allowing for the direct testing of high-vibration alarm and shutdown thresholds on Bently Nevada 3500 series racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProximitor Sensor Calibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEnables precise mapping of the Average Scale Factor (ASF) for 3300 XL and other proximity probe series by measuring DC voltage changes against known micrometer movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTSI Troubleshooting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eServes as a portable diagnostic station for identifying faulty probes, extension cables, or Proximitor sensors in steam turbines, compressors, and high-speed pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnnual Safety Audits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFacilitates documented proof of calibration for industrial facility safety audits, ensuring all sensors meet the required ±5% accuracy tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Position Simulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBench-tests thrust position monitors by simulating axial shaft movement to verify the correct orientation and response of axial displacement probes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the difference between the TK-3E and the manual TK-3 versions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The TK-3E 177313-02-02-00 includes an electric motor to drive the wobble plate, providing a consistent and repeatable vibration signal.
