Transducer System Patents: 5,016,343 and 5,126,664. Description Industries worldwide have used our REBAM technology for over a decade. The previous 7200 REBAMMicroPROX® 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.
