Embracing CTC PRO Line Proximity Probes as OEM Replacements

When it comes to proximity probe systems, the selection of alternative hardware manufacturers often incites skepticism and uncertainty among consumers. This hesitancy stems from various misconceptions, particularly when considering a hardware brand that is different than the hardware provided by the OEM which supplies their condition monitoring software.

Myth 1: Aftermarket proximity probes lack quality assurance

One prevailing misconception is that aftermarket proximity probes inherently lack the quality and reliability synonymous with established brands like Bently Nevada™.

Contrary to this belief, manufacturers such as CTC PRO Line adhere to rigorous standards and employ advanced manufacturing processes to ensure the durability, accuracy, and longevity of their products. At CTC we focus on doing what we do best: providing best-in-class hardware backed by best-in-class warranties. As a result, our PRO Line proximity probes provide superior reliability.

Myth 2: Compatibility issues with other brand's condition monitoring software

Another common misconception pertains to the compatibility of aftermarket proximity probes with popular condition monitoring software like Bently Nevada™.

While some consumers express apprehension regarding interoperability, the reality is that complete PRO Line proximity probe sets create seamless compatibility with a diverse array of monitoring platforms. CTC PRO Line proximity probes enable users to leverage their existing infrastructure without encountering compatibility issues.

Myth 3: Support concerns

Concerns surrounding technical support often dissuade consumers from considering alternatives to OEM hardware. However, this is perhaps the biggest myth! A primary driving factor behind the development of PRO proximity probe systems was industry feedback that customers were not getting responsive technical assistance. Customers would wait weeks to hear back from OEMs, if they heard back at all. At CTC, we answer the phone on the same day, promising to provide prompt technical assistance. 

Myth 4: Warranty value

Concerns around warranty coverage when using a PRO Line proximity probe system are a moot point! PRO Line proximity probes come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY on materials and workmanship. There is no fine print.
