What does \"reverse installation\" mean for Bentley’s reverse-mounted vibration probe?
Thread Content
The question is as stated in the title. It might be a rather basic question, but I’m still seeking help
No, maybe I didn’t ask clearly enough. There is a series of Bentley probes known as reverse-mounted probes (model 330105 or 330106). I would like to know what exactly is meant by \"reverse-mounted\"
The Bentley 330106-05-30-CXX-DXX-EXX series are reverse-mounted probes with 8mm metric threads, which generate a voltage signal proportional to the distance between the tip of the probe and the surface being measured. It can measure both static displacement and dynamic vibration. It is mainly used for measuring vibration and displacement in oil film bearing machinery, as well as phase and rotational speed. It’s just the product name, right?
Reverse installation means the threads are installed in reverse; the rotation direction during tightening is the same as that used to remove the probe. In simple terms, it should mean the opposite of silk. My personal understanding. Please give me your guidance.
A fixed-probe type probe is one that is directly mounted on the device, with its diameter fitting into the threaded holes on the device. The length of the probe’s housing can be chosen, but it is generally not made too long, to avoid a lack of stiffness in the probe itself due to excessive length； For reverse-mounted probes, the length of the housing is fixed; the probe is first screwed into the housing, which allows for varying lengths. Due to the high stiffness of the housing itself, reverse-mounted probes are generally used in applications where the distance between the machine surface and the shaft surface (also known as the insertion depth) is relatively large.
