Top-Quality Proximity Probes
Cutting-Edge Proximity Probes for Precision Vibration Monitoring
Metrix Vibration leads the industry with proven top-quality proximity probes designed for accurate, reliable, and affordable vibration monitoring. With over two decades of ISO-9001 certification, we continually refine our manufacturing processes to deliver superior products across multiple industries.
Our state-of-the-art proximity probes are fully compatible with Bently Nevada® Series 3300XL, 3300, 7200, and 3000, incorporating the latest technology and agency approvals. As displacement sensors, these probes detect the position of nearby objects without physical contact, utilizing advanced oscillator demodulator circuits to produce and interpret radio frequency signals. This cutting-edge technology enables precise measurement of position and vibration in rotating and reciprocating machines, providing early warnings to prevent costly equipment failures and reduce maintenance expenses.

MX8030 Proximity Probe
The MX8030 probe series has two diameter probe types consisting of 5mm and 8mm tips. These proximity probes usually come in 0.5- and 1-meter system lengths, other lengths are available. The associated triaxial cable provides a very durable shield to protect the coaxial cable inside. There are no special tools needed to set it up, due to the VibeLock™ connectors that keep the proximity probe cable and the extension cable connections in place.

TightView™ Proximity System
The TIGHTVIEW® Proximity System was designed to fit very tight spaces and provide an excellent linear measurement compared to competitive products for similar applications.

MX2030 Probe Series
The MX2030 probe series has two diameter probe types consisting of 5mm and 8mm tips. The associated cable is coaxial and very flexible. These probes are generally used in very tight locations. This proximity probe usually comes in 0.5- and 1-meter system lengths, other lengths are available. When used with the MX2031 extension cable and MX2033 driver, it can deliver full API 670-compliant performance.

10000 (7200) Probe Series: 5 & 8mm
5 & 8mm tip diameter probes. Available in 5 and 9 meter system lengths.

10000 (7200) Probe Series: 11 mm
11mm tip diameter probes. Available in 5 and 9 meter system lengths.

10026 (7200) Probes: High Pressure
High Pressure probes can withstand pressures to 1000 PSI (6.89 MPa). Available in 5 and 9 meter system lengths.
Understanding Proximity Probes: Precision in Non-Contact Measurement
Proximity probes are sophisticated displacement sensors designed to detect the position of nearby objects without physical contact. These advanced devices utilize an oscillator demodulator circuit to generate a radio frequency signal emitted from the probe tip. The probe then analyzes the feedback received, which varies based on the distance between the probe and the metallic surface being monitored.
The importance of high-accuracy, reliable proximity probes in industrial applications cannot be overstated. These sensors play a crucial role in safeguarding valuable and critical machinery by providing precise measurements of position and vibration in rotating and reciprocating equipment. By delivering early warnings of potential issues, proximity probes enable proactive maintenance strategies, significantly reducing maintenance costs and preventing catastrophic equipment failures. This predictive approach to machinery health monitoring ensures optimal performance, extended equipment lifespan, and improved operational efficiency across various industrial sectors.
