3300 REBAM Transducer System

Patents: 5,016,343 and 5,126,664.

Description
Industries worldwide have used Bently Nevada REBAM® technology for over
a decade. The previous 7200 REBAM® MicroPROX® System currently
operates and observes bearing vibration on a variety of machines. The 3300
REBAM® Transducer System combines the knowledge gathered from those
field operations with the advanced design improvements incorporated in our
successful 3300 Proximity Transducer System.

The REBAM® Transducer System consists of a proximity probe, extension

cable and high-gain Proximitor® Sensor called a MicroPROX®. The probe is
installed in the bearing housing to observe the outer ring of the bearing. As
the rolling elements rotate through the bearing, minute deflections of the
outer ring occur as the elements come into contact with bearing defects.
Typically, these deflections are in the range of 0.1 to 8 micrometres (4 to 300
microinches). The deflections can be caused by a variety of loading and
bearing conditions. The REBAM® Transducer System measures these
deflections and provides you with an electrical signal corresponding to the
amplitude of the deflection. An increase in amplitude may signify a possible
bearing problem, such as rolling element spalling or race defects. Identifying
these conditions early leads to safer and more efficient planning of
maintenance on the machines.

No counterbore is required when using the 3300 REBAM® Transducer

System. The sideview effect is greatly reduced, with less than 5% change to
the Average Scale Factor when no counterbore is used (this holds for bores
used to tap 3/8-24 or M10 x 1 internal threads).

A dual channel monitor and a portable field instrument connect to the 3300
REBAM® Transducer System. The 3300/54 Dual REBAM® Monitor
provides you with continuous critical protection required for your machinery.

The TK-77 is a portable field instrument that can connect either directly to the
3300 MicroPROX® or to the 3300 REBAM® probe and extension cable. It
also interfaces directly with the 3300/54 monitor.
