Bently Nevada 330173-00-03-10-02-CN Proximity Cable

Technical Specifications Summary

The Bently Nevada 330173-00-03-10-02-CN is a high-reliability extension cable designed for the 3300 XL NSv (Near Surface) Proximity Transducer System. This cable acts as the essential electrical bridge between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor. It preserves signal integrity by maintaining precise impedance matching across the entire circuit. Specifically engineered for tight-clearance applications, this NSv series cable ensures accurate monitoring of vibration and position in confined machinery spaces.

Signal Integrity and Performance

This cable features a coaxial design that minimizes signal attenuation and protects against external electromagnetic interference (EMI). Because the transducer system relies on delicate eddy current measurements, the cable must maintain a constant capacitance. The 330173-00-03-10-02-CN achieves this through high-quality fluoropolymer insulation. This construction allows the system to deliver a linear output of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), enabling the early detection of shaft misalignment and bearing wear.

Hardware Configuration

The part number 330173-00-03-10-02-CN defines the physical specifications for industrial installation. These options ensure compatibility with specific environmental and mounting requirements:

• Cable Length: 3.0 meters (9.8 feet).
• Armor Option: Standard cable without stainless steel armor.
• Agency Approvals: CN (China Specific Approvals/Ex-certified).
• Connector Type: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connectors.

Durability and Installation

Engineers designed this cable to survive the rigorous conditions found in power plants and refineries. The outer jacket resists degradation from moisture, chemicals, and industrial lubricants. Furthermore, the patented ClickLoc connectors prevent accidental disconnections caused by machine vibration. These connectors also eliminate the need for specialized torque tools, which simplifies field maintenance and reduces the time required for sensor replacement.
