Bently Nevada 330130-045-11-00 3300 XL Armored Extension Cable

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-11-00 is a heavy-duty armored extension cable designed for the 3300 XL series proximity transducer system. As a critical link in high-performance machinery monitoring, this 4.5-meter cable ensures the precise transmission of vibration and position signals from the probe to the Proximitor sensor. Manufactured in the USA, the 330130-045-11-00 is engineered with Armored FluidLoc® technology, providing superior mechanical protection and a liquid-tight internal seal for the most demanding industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

The 330130-045-11-00 features a stainless steel armor jacket that prevents crushing and physical damage in high-traffic areas of the machinery deck. Its FluidLoc® interior prevents turbine oil and other process fluids from "wicking" through the cable into the Proximitor sensor housing, which is a common cause of electronic failure in standard cables. With a typical capacitance of 69.9 pF/m, this extension cable maintains the strict electrical properties required to preserve the system's Average Scale Factor (ASF) and overall linearity.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Why is armored cable preferred over standard extension cables?
A1: Armored cables provide a high degree of mechanical protection against abrasion, sharp bends, and heavy impact, making them ideal for installations where the cable is exposed rather than tucked inside a conduit.

Q2: Is the 4.5-meter length compatible with all 3300 XL systems?
A2: This 4.5m cable is generally used with a 0.5m probe to create a 5-meter total system length, or with a 4.5m probe and 9-meter Proximitor. Always ensure your total system length (Probe + Extension) matches the Proximitor's calibration.

Q3: Can FluidLoc technology withstand high pressure?
A3: FluidLoc is designed to prevent liquid migration and handle differential pressures typically found in turbine and compressor housings. However, the probe itself is the primary pressure seal; the cable acts as a secondary barrier.
