Bently Nevada 330104-00-05-10-01-05 Proximity Probe 3300 XL 8mm Sensor

Brief Product Description

This industrial sensor measures non-contact shaft displacement and high-frequency dynamic vibration. It interfaces with the 3300 XL transducer system to protect heavy rotating assets.

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-05-10-01-05 belongs to the specialized 3300 XL 8mm proximity transducer family. This model features a reverse mount configuration designed for compact housing installations where space constraints prevent standard forward mounting. By utilizing advanced eddy current technology, the probe accurately measures the distance between the sensor tip and the observed rotating shaft without making physical contact.

Core Functional Applications

Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) setups incorporate this proximity probe to continuously track vital machine health indicators. Consequently, industrial plants rely on these measurements to execute predictive maintenance and avoid catastrophic machinery failures.

• Radial shaft vibration analysis within fluid-film bearings
• Thrust position and axial displacement monitoring for steam and gas turbines
• Speed tracking and overspeed detection via tachometer wheel configurations
• Phase reference tracking using specialized Keyphasor sensor setups
• Casing expansion and differential thermal growth measurement

Technical Characteristics and Design Features

This device boasts a ruggedized mechanical body capable of surviving long-term submersion in hot industrial lubricants. Because this specific iteration features a 1.0-meter integrated cable length, it connects directly to a Proximitor sensor without using an intermediate extension cable. This direct layout significantly reduces potential signal attenuation and cuts the physical installation footprint in half.

• Reverse mount geometry facilitates specialized threaded sleeve installations
• Factory calibration perfectly matches standard AISI 4140 target steel
• Gold-plated ClickLoc coaxial connectors maximize electrical signal path integrity
• Advanced polymer tip construction resists chemical breakdown and structural degradation
• Global intrinsically safe certifications include widespread ATEX, IECEx, and CSA approvals
