Bently Nevada 330104-00-04-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-04-10-02-CN is an 8mm proximity probe within the world-renowned 3300 XL series. This metric-threaded sensor is engineered to provide a linear output for measuring shaft vibration, axial position, and speed in rotating machinery. Featuring a robust **M10x1 thread** and a **40mm case length**, it offers a compact mechanical profile for versatile mounting. The probe tip is molded from high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), ensuring exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance. Equipped with an IP67-rated ClickLoc connector and 1.0 meter of FEP-insulated cable, this probe is the gold standard for reliable signal transmission in demanding industrial automation sectors.

Core Technical Advantages

Advanced ClickLoc™ Connectivity

The 330104-00-04-10-02-CN features the patented ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector. This IP67-rated connection system provides a secure, vibration-resistant link that requires no special tools for installation. The gold-plated contacts ensure low electrical resistance and high signal integrity, preventing data loss in critical monitoring applications.

Superior Pressure and Fluid Sealing

Designed for use in pressurized machinery, this probe includes a Viton® O-ring seal capable of withstanding up to 3.45 bar (50 psi) of differential pressure. This prevents oil and other process fluids from leaking out of the machine through the probe mounting point, ensuring environmental safety and equipment longevity.

Rugged Environmental Resilience

From the abrasion-resistant FEP cable jacket to the stainless steel case, every component of the 330104 probe is built for the factory floor. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C and is rated for altitudes up to 2000 meters, making it suitable for global deployment in power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Handling Guidelines

• Proper Gapping: For optimal linearity, ensure the probe is gapped at approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target (AISI 4140 steel).
• Total System Length: This 1.0m probe must be paired with an 8.0m extension cable to meet the required 9-meter total system length for standard 3300 XL Proximitor sensors.
• Thread Care: When installing the M10x1 threads, ensure the mounting hole is free of debris. Use a calibrated torque wrench to avoid over-tightening the stainless steel case.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the purpose of the PPS probe tip?

A1: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is used for its excellent dielectric properties and resistance to chemicals. It can withstand peak temperatures up to 240°C, protecting the internal sensing coil.

Q2: Can I use this probe in hazardous areas?

A2: Yes, the 330104 series is ATEX and IECEx certified, making it suitable for use in Zone 0 and Zone 1 explosive atmospheres when installed with an appropriate Proximitor sensor and barrier.

Q3: What does the "CN" at the end of the part number mean?

A3: The "CN" suffix indicates that the product carries Country Specific agency approvals, ensuring compliance with local industrial regulations in the destination market.
