Description

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-15-01-00 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for non-contact vibration and position measurement in industrial rotating machinery. This probe system is engineered to provide precise, reliable data for monitoring radial vibration, axial position, and speed in critical assets such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Features

• Standard 8 mm probe tip design for compatibility with 3300 XL monitoring systems.
• M10 x 1 thread configuration for secure mounting.
• Integrated armored cable for enhanced protection against mechanical damage in harsh environments.
• Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and connector protector to ensure signal integrity.
• Standard cable construction with a total length of 1.5 meters.
• Designed for seamless integration with Bently Nevada proximity transducer systems.

Applications

This proximity probe is widely used in industrial environments for:

• Radial vibration monitoring on sleeve-bearing machines.
• Axial (thrust) position measurement to prevent mechanical interference.
• Shaft speed and phase reference (keyphasor) measurements.
• Condition monitoring in petrochemical, power generation, and oil and gas facilities.

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe is installed in a location free from excessive mechanical stress or vibration that could damage the cable.
• Use appropriate mounting brackets and locknuts to secure the probe at the correct gap distance as specified by the machine's monitoring documentation.
• Handle the probe tip with care to avoid scratches or impacts, as surface integrity is critical for accurate eddy current measurement.
• Route the armored cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Verify that the ClickLoc connector is fully seated and the connector protector is correctly applied to prevent moisture or debris ingress.
• Always power down the monitoring system before disconnecting or replacing the probe to prevent electrical faults.
