Bently Nevada 330130-045-13-05 Armored FluidLoc Cable

Product Overview

The 330130-045-13-05 is an industrial-grade extension cable from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series. Engineered for critical machinery monitoring, this premium 0.34 kg cable connects proximity probes to proximity transducer sensors. It transmits high-frequency eddy current vibration signals with zero attenuation, providing precise data to machinery protection systems in harsh processing environments.

Core Technical Advantages

• FluidLoc Seal Infrastructure: Features advanced FluidLoc block technology that prevents oil, moisture, and chemical process fluids from leaking through the inner core of the cable into your junction boxes.
• Heavy-Duty Mechanical Armor: Includes rugged stainless steel armor plating to shield the inner coaxial conductors against physical impacts, cutting edges, and severe mechanical stress.
• Integrated Connector Protection: Comes equipped with a pre-installed connector protector that seals the delicate probe-to-cable connection against dust, moisture, and vibration-induced loosening.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

• Total System Length Calibration: Ensure your proximity probe length and this 4.5-meter extension cable match the required configuration of your 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor (typically calibrated for 5.0-meter or 9.0-meter total system lengths). Mismatched system lengths will distort voltage-to-distance electrical calibration.
• Minimum Bending Radius: Do not bend the armored cable beyond a minimum radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) during installation to prevent permanent damage to the stainless steel armor and the internal coaxial core.
• Connector Protection: Use the integrated connector protector tool during assembly to fully insulate the coaxial connections. Do not use metal pliers directly on the gold-plated connectors, as this can degrade signal performance.

Engineering Advantages

• Global Hazardous Compliance: The 05 approval option covers worldwide explosion-proof and intrinsically safe industrial standards, simplifying plant engineering compliance across international regions.
• TSI System Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada 3500 series machinery protection systems to track thermal expansion, shaft vibration, and thrust displacement on critical rotating assets.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the specific purpose of the FluidLoc design feature?
A1: The FluidLoc feature uses an internal sealing compound that blocks oils, cooling fluids, and moisture from traveling along the inside of the cable, protecting your field junction boxes from contamination.

Q2: What is the exact weight of this 4.5-meter armored cable version?
A2: This specific 4.5m armored extension cable weighs approximately 0.34 kg (0.75 lbs), providing a rugged yet lightweight footprint for industrial conduits.

Q3: Can I combine this 4.5m cable with a non-XL Bently Nevada probe system?
A3: For optimal measurement accuracy, we recommend pairing this cable with 3300 XL 8mm components. Mixing older legacy parts can alter your system's electrical impedance and degrade the accuracy of your linear range readings.
