The Bently Nevada 330180-X1-05 MOD:145004-90 is a high-performance Proximitor Sensor designed for the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This sensor converts the eddy current signal from a proximity probe into a voltage output that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, enabling precise measurement of both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values in industrial rotating machinery.

Features

• Designed for demanding environments including compression systems, speed monitoring, and fluid-film bearing machines.
• Provides complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need for individual bench calibration.
• Backwards compatible with legacy 3300 series transducer system components.
• Complies with API 670 standards (4th Edition) for linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability.
• Rated for extended temperature range applications.

Applications

• Oil and Gas: Monitoring centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors, and expanders in refineries and pipelines.
• Electric Power: Vibration and position monitoring for steam turbines, gas turbines, generators, and large water turbines.
• Petrochemical: Tracking operating conditions for high-temperature and high-pressure process pumps and fans.
• Heavy Manufacturing: Monitoring blast furnace fans, large motors, and rotary pressurizing equipment.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the system is powered down before installing or removing the Proximitor sensor from the rack or mounting rail.
• The unit should be mounted in a protected, dry environment, ideally within a weatherproof housing if exposed to outdoor conditions.
• Maintain proper shielding for all extension cables to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Ensure the probe tip is correctly gapped according to the specific machine requirements to maintain linear range.
• Use ESD-safe handling practices when installing the module to protect internal electronic components.
