The Bently Nevada TK-3G (specifically part number 177314-01) is a specialized, air-driven proximity system test kit designed to simulate shaft vibration and position. This essential tool allows instrumentation engineers to verify and calibrate the entire transducer system, including proximity probes, Proximitor sensors, and monitoring rack readouts. By providing controlled mechanical displacement, the TK-3G ensures that safety-critical machinery protection systems are accurate, helping to prevent both false trips and undetected mechanical failures.
The 177314-01 variant is powered by compressed air, featuring a wobble plate and air motor that can simulate vibration at speeds up to 5000 cpm. This air-driven mechanism is ideal for field use where electrical motor interference must be avoided or where pneumatic power is more readily available. The kit includes a removable spindle micrometer with English (imperial) increments for static position calibration. Encased in a rugged, IP54-rated portable housing, the TK-3G is engineered for the harsh environments of oil and gas refineries, power plants, and heavy industrial facilities.
