The Bently Nevada 330103-00-06-10-12-00 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for precision vibration and position monitoring in critical rotating machinery. This transducer system provides a voltage output proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, enabling accurate measurement of both static displacement and dynamic vibration.

Features

• Advanced eddy current transducer technology for high-accuracy measurement.
• FluidLoc cable design prevents liquid wicking through the cable jacket.
• ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector for secure, vibration-resistant connectivity.
• Total system interchangeability: probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors can be replaced without the need for individual bench calibration.
• Compliant with API 670 standards for mechanical configuration and signal stability.

Applications

• Vibration and position monitoring for fluid-film bearing machines.
• Turbomachinery protection, including turbines, compressors, fans, and motors.
• Keyphasor and shaft rotational speed measurements.
• Industrial process monitoring in oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation facilities.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Gapping: For standard AISI 4140 steel targets, the probe should be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) to center the linear range.
• Gap Voltage: Expected output voltage is approximately -10.0 VDC (range: -9 to -11 VDC).
• Cable Handling: Maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) to prevent signal degradation.
• Wiring: Use a 3-conductor shielded triad cable for connections between the Proximitor sensor and the monitoring system.
• Safety: Ensure the system is powered down before installing or removing components to prevent electrical damage.

FAQ

What is the 330103-00-06-10-12-00?

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-06-10-12-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe used for industrial vibration and position monitoring in rotating machinery.

What is the primary function of this probe?

It measures both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values on fluid-film bearing machines, making it essential for assessing the structural health of heavy industrial turbines, pumps, and compressors.

What are the FluidLoc cable and ClickLoc connector?

The FluidLoc cable design prevents oil, moisture, and other industrial liquids from wicking through the internal gap spaces of the cable jacket. The ClickLoc coaxial connector provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection point that does not easily loosen during standard operations.

Does this probe require calibration upon replacement?

No calibration is necessary. The 3300 XL series elements offer total interchangeability across matching system lengths, removing the requirement for individual bench calibration.
