The Bently Nevada 330130-045-03-05 is a 4.5-meter (14.8-foot) standard extension cable engineered for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. This cable serves as a critical link between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, facilitating precise signal transmission for both static position and dynamic vibration measurements in industrial rotating machinery.

Features

• 4.5-meter (14.8-foot) cable length for standard system configurations.
• FluidLoc cable design with integrated connector protectors to prevent oil and liquid ingress.
• Corrosion-resistant, gold-plated ClickLoc connectors for reliable, vibration-resistant electrical contact.
• Self-locking connector mechanism requires only finger-tight torque, eliminating the need for specialized tools.
• Patented CableLoc design providing 330N (75 lbf) pull strength for enhanced mechanical durability.
• Fully interchangeable with existing 3300 XL and legacy 3300 series 5mm and 8mm transducer components.
• Hazardous area certified (CSA, ATEX, IECEx).

Applications

• Vibration and position monitoring for fluid-film bearing machinery.
• Keyphasor reference and speed measurement applications.
• Oil and gas sector: compressors, turbines, and high-pressure pumps.
• Power generation: steam turbines, cooling fans, and hydro-bearing monitoring.
• Predictive maintenance programs to detect structural degradation and minimize unplanned downtime.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and flat. For accelerometer mounting, spot-face the surface to 63 microinches RMS.
• Apply a light coupling grease to mating surfaces and mounting studs to maintain high-frequency response.
• Use finger-tight torque for ClickLoc connectors; the self-locking mechanism prevents loosening under operational vibration.
• Route cables away from high-EMI sources and ensure proper shielding and grounding practices are followed.
• Always power down the system before disconnecting or connecting transducer components to prevent electrical transients.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 330130-045-03-05?

It acts as an extension link in the 3300 XL proximity transducer system, connecting the probe to the signal-conditioning Proximitor sensor to measure shaft vibration and position.

Is this cable compatible with older 3300 series systems?

Yes, the 3300 XL components are fully interchangeable with earlier 3300 series 5mm and 8mm transducer components, allowing for seamless integration into existing legacy installations.

Does this cable meet API 670 standards?

Yes, when utilized as part of the standard 5-meter system configuration (4.5m cable plus 0.5m probe), the assembly complies with the API 670 standard for eddy-current proximity transducer systems.

What protection does the -03 option provide?

The -03 option includes stainless steel armor for crush resistance and protection against sharp debris, along with integrated connector protectors to prevent oil and moisture contamination at the connection points.
