This precision instrumentation calibrates Bently Nevada machinery protection monitors and verifies the operational integrity of the entire proximity transducer loop before commissioning or during routine turnarounds. Deployed heavily across petrochemical refineries, thermal power plants, and maritime propulsion facilities, the TK-3e delivers the precise physical reference needed to confirm transducer linearity and monitor readout accuracy. By facilitating systematic verification of critical vibration sensors, this system mitigates the risk of catastrophic rotating machine failures and costly unpredicted plant outages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuffix Breakdown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe part number designation \u003cstrong\u003e177313-02-02-00\u003c\/strong\u003e precisely dictates the functional hardware layout, power configuration, and regional regulatory compliance for the portable calibration standard:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Units Option (02):\u003c\/strong\u003e Configured with metric measurement scales on the spindle micrometer (calibrated from 0 to 25.4 mm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Cord Type Option (02):\u003c\/strong\u003e Outfitted with a European standard power cord configuration compatible with regional electrical grids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgency Approvals Option (00):\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard option with no specific hazardous area or agency approval certificates attached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical and Electrical Parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications and Limits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\"\u003e177313-02-02-00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\"\u003eBently Nevada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\"\u003eUnited States (U.S.A)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"5\"\u003e190-250 Vac, 50\/60 Hz, 1A minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVibration Amplitude Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"6\"\u003e50 to 254 um (2 to 10 mils) peak-to-peak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive System Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"7\"\u003eVariable electric drive from 0 to 5000 cpm (plus\/minus 1000 cpm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpindle Micrometer Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"8\"\u003e0 to 25.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget and Wobble Plate Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"9\"\u003eAISI 4140 Alloy Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProbe Size Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"10\"\u003eAccommodates diameters from 5 mm to 19 mm (0.197 in to 0.75 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"11\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"11\"\u003e0 to 50 deg C (32 to 122 deg F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"12\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"12\"\u003e-18 to 65 deg C (0 to 150 deg F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"13\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelative Humidity Limits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"13\"\u003eUp to 95 percent relative humidity, non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"14\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"14\"\u003e195 mm x 299 mm x 248 mm (7.68 in x 11.8 in x 9.76 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"15\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"15\"\u003e5.22 kg (11.5 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineering FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can the universal probe mount accept 8 mm and 11 mm probes simultaneously?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The universal probe mount on both the spindle micrometer and the swing-arm assembly adjusts to secure single probes ranging from 5 mm up to 19 mm in diameter.

Advance the target toward the probe tip until physical contact is made, then zero the micrometer. Back the probe away in precise metric increments (e.g., 0.25 mm steps), recording the output voltage from the Proximitor Sensor at each interval using a digital voltmeter to plot system linearity across the 10.0 VDC linear range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Vibration Simulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e When using the electric-driven wobble plate to calibrate vibration monitors, position the probe via the swing-arm assembly over the wobble plate. Adjust the variable speed control dial to ramp the motor speed within the 0 to 5000 cpm window to match typical machine running speeds. Verify monitor alert and danger alarm trip points against the physical mechanical displacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Interface Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always verify that the target button and wobble plate surfaces are clean, free of oil film, and unmarred before initiating a calibration cycle. Scratches or mechanical damage to the AISI 4140 steel target surface introduce electrical runout errors that distort the sensor readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical Supply Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensure the input line voltage matches the European power cord specification (190-250 Vac).
