The Bently Nevada 330104-00-12-10-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for high-accuracy vibration and shaft displacement monitoring in rotating machinery. As part of the 3300 XL eddy current transducer system, this probe provides a voltage output directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, enabling the measurement of both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) parameters.

Features

• M10 x 1 thread configuration with 120 mm case length.
• Includes armor for enhanced cable protection.
• Features patented TipLoc molding for a robust bond between the probe tip and body.
• Equipped with a patented CableLoc design providing 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength.
• Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure, reliable signal transmission.
• Agency approvals include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx for hazardous area compliance.

Applications

• Turbine and compressor vibration monitoring.
• Fluid-film bearing machine position measurements.
• Keyphasor reference and speed sensing.
• Monitoring of cooling tower fans, agitators, and reactor cooling systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting hole is properly tapped for an M10 x 1 thread.
• For standard AISI 4140 steel targets, the probe should be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) to maintain the linear operating range.
• Maintain a minimum separation of 40 mm (1.6 in) for axial or 38 mm (1.5 in) for radial measurements between probe tips to prevent cross-talk.
• Handle with care to avoid damage to the probe tip or cable jacket during installation.
• Ensure all connections are clean and fully seated before system power-up.

FAQ

What is the 330104-00-12-10-02-05?

It is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe used for monitoring shaft vibration and position in industrial rotating machinery.

What is the function of this probe?

It acts as an eddy current sensor, providing a voltage output proportional to the gap between the probe tip and a conductive surface, allowing for both static and dynamic measurements.

Does the probe require special shielding?

The 3300 XL system features high RFI/EMI immunity, often allowing for installation without specialized shielded conduits, while meeting CE mark requirements.
