Description
Designed for in-field verification and calibration of proximity probe systems, the Bently Nevada 177314-02 is a pneumatic, air-driven calibration instrument. This high-precision device simulates shaft vibration and position, enabling maintenance technicians to verify the calibration of Bently Nevada proximity probe systems, transducers, and machinery protection monitors.
As an air-driven model, this unit is highly suited for environments where electrical power is unavailable, restricted, or where hazardous area regulations make pneumatic tools preferable. The 177314-02 configuration features metric scale units (micrometer graduated in metric increments) to align with standard international industrial instrumentation. It is housed in a rugged enclosure that protects the delicate mechanical components from field hazards.
Features
- Pneumatic, air-driven operation eliminating the need for electrical power sources during field testing.
- Vibration and position calibration capability using a metric spindle assembly.
- Wobble plate drive mechanism for simulating precise dynamic vibration amplitudes.
- Rugged, IP54-rated enclosure (when closed) designed to protect sensitive calibration elements in harsh industrial environments.
- Highly portable design suited for standard industrial field environments.
Applications
- Field verification of proximity probe systems and dynamic transducers.
- Calibration checks for machinery protection monitors and vibration transmitters.
- Use in refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation stations, and gas processing facilities.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the supplied pneumatic air source is dry, clean, and does not exceed the maximum rating of 90 psi (6.2 bar).
- Place the instrument on a flat, stable, and vibration-free surface during calibration procedures to prevent external interference.
- Keep the protective transport cover closed when moving the instrument through wet or dusty field environments to preserve the IP54 protection level.
Compliance and Certifications
- IP54 rating (when closed) for environmental protection against dust and water ingress.
