The Bently Nevada 330101-00-32-05-01-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for accurate measurement of shaft vibration and position in critical rotating machinery. As a core component of the 3300 XL eddy current transducer system, this probe provides reliable data for condition monitoring and machinery protection applications.

Features

• Advanced Performance: Engineered for superior linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability, fully compliant with API 670 standards.
• Complete Interchangeability: Supports seamless replacement of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors without the need for individual component bench calibration.
• ClickLoc Connector: Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and a protective connector cover for secure, reliable signal transmission.
• Rugged Design: Features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and a 3.2-inch case length, built to withstand demanding industrial environments.
• Global Compliance: Includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx agency approvals for hazardous area operations.

Applications

• Power Generation: Monitoring shaft systems in steam turbines, water turbines, and generators.
• Oil & Gas: Safety protection for centrifugal compressors, turbine drives, and large-scale rotating units.
• Petrochemical: Condition monitoring for critical equipment such as large pumps, fans, and extruders.
• Heavy Industry: Vibration analysis for blast furnace blowers, ball mills, and rolling mill transmission shafts.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Connector Handling: Use the gold-plated ClickLoc connectors. These are designed for finger-tight installation only. A distinct "click" indicates the connector is properly locked; do not use tools to tighten.
• Wiring: Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable (16 to 24 AWG). The maximum distance between the Proximitor sensor and the monitoring system is 305 meters (1,000 feet).
• Grounding: To prevent ground loops and electrical noise, ensure the cable shield is grounded at the monitor end only. Never ground both ends of the shield.
• Handling: As a precision transducer, ensure the probe tip is free from debris and protected from physical impact during installation.

FAQ

What is the primary function of this probe?

This probe uses eddy current technology to measure radial and axial shaft displacement, providing critical data for vibration analysis and machinery protection.

Is this probe compatible with older systems?

The 3300 XL series is designed for high performance and is generally compatible with legacy 3300 systems; however, it is recommended to use it with a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor to ensure full RFI/EMI immunity and optimal signal integrity.

What is the system output?

The 3300 XL 8 mm system provides a standard output of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil).
