Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 21504-000-008-05-02 is an 8 mm Standard Mount Proximity Probe from the 7200 Series. It is a non‑contact eddy‑current probe designed for precise measurement of static and dynamic positions of conductive targets, primarily rotating machinery shafts. When used with a compatible extension cable and a 7200 Series proximitor (driver/demodulator), it forms a complete proximity transducer system that outputs a linear voltage proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the shaft surface.
The part number breakdown is as follows:
21504 – 7200 Series 8 mm proximity probe
000 – Unthreaded length: 0.0 mm
008 – Overall case length: 80 mm (8.0 cm / 3.15 in)
05 – Total probe system length (probe plus integral cable): 0.5 m (20 in)
02 – Connector type: miniature male coaxial (Mini‑Type)
The probe features a rugged Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and housing, offering excellent resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and high temperatures. It meets API 670 requirements for machinery protection systems.

Application Scenarios
Radial Vibration Monitoring – Mounted on steam turbines, gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large motors to measure shaft‑relative vibration, detecting imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear.
Axial (Thrust) Position Measurement – Used on pumps, compressors, and turbines to monitor rotor axial displacement, preventing thrust bearing overload and rotor‑stator rub.
Shaft Eccentricity & Runout – Provides bow measurement during startup and coast‑down of large rotating equipment (e.g., generators, steam turbines).
Keyphasor / Speed Reference – Supplies a once‑per‑revolution pulse for phase reference, enabling Bode plots, orbit analysis, and overspeed protection.
Reciprocating Compressor Rod Position – Tracks piston rod radial movement to detect rider band wear or cylinder liner issues.
General Industrial Machinery – Protects fans, blowers, paper mill rolls, and mining equipment where non‑contact shaft monitoring is required in harsh environments (e.g., high temperature, dirt, oil).
