The Bently Nevada 330104-08-15-10-02-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for precise vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. This transducer system utilizes eddy current technology to provide an output voltage proportional to the gap between the probe tip and a conductive target surface, enabling accurate measurement of both static position and dynamic vibration.

Features

• Designed for fluid-film bearing machinery, including turbines, compressors, and pumps.
• Complies with API 670 standards for linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability.
• Features a M10 x 1 thread configuration with a 150 mm case length and 80 mm unthreaded length.
• Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and FluidLoc cable for reliable signal transmission.
• Supports complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need for individual component bench calibration.
• Includes hazardous area approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx).

Applications

• Power Generation: Axial and radial vibration monitoring for steam, gas, and hydro turbines.
• Oil & Gas: Monitoring of centrifugal compressors, pumps, and motors in refineries and petrochemical plants.
• Heavy Industry: Reliability monitoring for large-scale rotating equipment such as pulp refiners, ball mills, and industrial fans.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe is mounted securely using the provided thread configuration to prevent mechanical resonance.
• Route signal cables through protective conduit to minimize EMI and physical damage.
• Maintain proper clearance from the target surface; the system is pre-calibrated for 4140 steel.
• Ensure the total cable length between the Proximitor and the monitoring system does not exceed 305 meters (1,000 feet).
• Always power down the monitoring system before connecting or disconnecting probe components to prevent electrical surges.

FAQ
