Configured for proximity probe calibration and mechanical displacement verification in Bently Nevada TK-3e platforms, the Bently Nevada TK-3e 177313-01-01-00 (TK-3e Proximity System) provides direct physical execution for eddy-current probe gap and sensitivity adjustment procedures.

Model Configuration Details

The Bently Nevada TK-3e 177313-01-01-00 Electric Driven TK-3e is a calibration instrument designed for verifying proximity transducer response. The system provides controlled target movement through an electrically driven mechanism and includes a precision spindle micrometer for displacement adjustment.

The unit supports a spindle micrometer range of 0 to 25.4 mm (0 to 1000 mils) and uses an AISI 4140 alloy steel target button and wobble plate assembly for probe calibration activities.

Hardware Specifications

Eddy-Current Probe Calibration Function

The TK-3e system provides controlled mechanical movement for evaluating eddy-current proximity probe characteristics. The target button and wobble plate assembly provide a defined conductive reference surface for probe response verification.

During calibration, gap voltage validation is performed to confirm correct probe operating position. The controlled spindle movement allows verification of probe scaling characteristics and displacement response across the specified measurement range.

The system supports rotor dynamics measurement preparation by providing a controlled reference environment for proximity probe setup and signal verification.
