How to Use the 3300 XL Shaft Micrometer Kit

Part Number 140273-01, Rev. C

Setup Option 1 Transducer System
Verification
Set up the shaft micrometer using a power
supply, multimeter, and transducer system with
the probe viewing a Bently Nevada 4140
target button. Note: Be sure the target is visible
through the hole in the collet before you insert
the probe.

Setup Option 2 Shaft Verification in
Hazardous Areas
To verify the transducer system curve in an
intrinsically safe application when viewing a
shaft or piston rod, set up the transducer
system, micrometer, and multimeter as shown
below.

Non-Hazardous Areas
To verify the transducer system curve when
viewing the shaft or piston rod in a
non-hazardous area application, set up the
transducer system, shaft micrometer, power
supply, and multimeter as shown below.

Step 1 Verifying the Transducer
While compensating for backlash, adjust the
micrometer position until the transducer system
is at electrical zero. The position of the
micrometer at this point is X0. To obtain your
first measuring point, X1, back off the
micrometer to the beginning of the linear range
of the probe in use. For example, for 5 & 8 mm
3300 probes, back off the micrometer 12 mil
(300m) from X0 and then adjust forward to 10
mil (250m) from X0. This will give you X1.

Step 2 Take Readings
Take readings until end of linear range in 250m
(10 mil) increments, assuming X1 is approximately
equal to 250m (10 mil). All voltages should be
negative voltages.

Notes

1. The numbers shown are only for
3300 5mm or 8mm, or 7200 5mm or
8mm systems. Check your
Transducer Manual for other values
for other systems.
2. Periodically coat target face with a
thin coat of paraffin wax to avoid
corrosion.
3. It is possible for the target to become
magnetized, which can effect scale
factor readings. Avoid strong
magnetic fields and degauss target if
necessary.
