Bently Nevada 330172-16-42-10-01-00 Proximity Transducer

The Bently Nevada 330172-16-42-10-01-00 is a high-performance 8mm proximity probe belonging to the 3300 XL series. This transducer utilizes eddy current technology to perform non-contact measurements on rotating machinery. Specifically, it tracks shaft vibration, axial position, and displacement with exceptional accuracy. Because it detects mechanical changes in real time, maintenance teams can identify misalignment or bearing wear early. Consequently, this sensor plays a vital role in preventing catastrophic equipment failure.

Key Technical Advantages

The 330172-16-42-10-01-00 offers several benefits for harsh operating conditions. First, the probe features a robust construction that resists chemical exposure and mechanical stress. Second, the advanced shielding prevents signal degradation from electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Moreover, the 3300 XL system provides a linear range of 2.0 mm (80 mils). This ensures a stable scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil). Additionally, the modular design allows for complete interchangeability. Users can swap components without performing a full system recalibration. This feature saves significant time during plant turnarounds. Finally, the gold-plated connectors ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant electrical link.
