Bently Nevada TK3-2E 14700-01 Proximity System Test Kit
A legacy electric TK3 configuration used to simulate shaft position and vibration for proximity-system and monitor checks.
Key Information
TK3-2E 14700-01 is a legacy Bently Nevada electric proximity-system test-kit identification. The kit is used to generate controlled static gap and mechanical vibration inputs when checking proximity transducers and monitor indications.
The legacy part number is preserved exactly. Power, scale and accessory contents must be taken from the installed label because current TK-3e ordering uses a different configured article format.
Functions
- Uses a spindle micrometer and probe mount to check transducer-system scale factor and position indication.
- Uses a motor-driven wobble plate to present a known mechanical vibration input to a proximity probe.
- Supports comparison of monitor indication with the mechanical signal derived from probe output and absolute scale factor.
- Accepts probe diameters from 5 to 19 mm through the universal probe mount used by the TK3 family.

Installation
- Secure the probe in the universal mount and confirm mounting screws before operating the wobble plate.
- Use safety glasses, keep loose objects away and maintain clearance from every rotating component.
- Establish the required mechanical amplitude from probe scale factor and measured peak-to-peak voltage.
- Record probe type, sensor power, gap curve, monitor channel and test conditions with the results.
Lifecycle
- Keep legacy power-cord, scale and kit contents with the TK3-2E 14700-01 record.
- Inspect the wobble plate, swing arm, micrometer travel, magnetic base and probe mounts before use.
- For replacement, configure the current electric TK-3e by scale units, power cord and approval; do not assume a one-line conversion.
FAQ
Can TK3-2E 14700-01 be ordered from the legacy number alone?
For a replacement, provide the legacy label, scale units, supply voltage and cord, carrying case and required probe accessories so the current configuration can be selected.
Does TK3-2E 14700-01 verify only the proximity probe?
No. It can support checks of the transducer loop and monitor indication when used with the correct sensor power, voltmeter and documented scale factor.
What must be inspected before operating TK3-2E 14700-01?
Check guards, mounting screws, wobble plate, swing arm, probe mount, power cable and micrometer movement before the rotating test.
Is an oscilloscope mandatory when using TK3-2E 14700-01?
The standard wobble-plate method can establish mechanical amplitude from the probe’s peak-to-peak DC output and absolute scale factor using a suitable multimeter.
Can a current TK-3e directly replace TK3-2E 14700-01?
The function is related, but scale units, power cord, approvals and accessory contents must be configured and compared before replacement.
Which records should accompany a TK3-2E 14700-01 calibration kit?
Retain the nameplate, supply data, kit contents, micrometer condition, target material, test procedure and calibration or service history.
