Bently Nevada 3300 XL 330104-00-06-10-01-CN | Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-06-10-01-CN is a precision 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe designed for critical machinery protection. Using advanced eddy current technology, this sensor provides non-contact vibration and shaft position monitoring for steam turbines, compressors, and motors. It delivers superior thermal stability and a linear scale factor, ensuring early detection of mechanical wear in fluid-film bearings to prevent costly industrial downtime.

Technical Configuration

The model number 330104-00-06-10-01-CN specifies the following hardware attributes:

00: 0 mm unthreaded length. Full-case threading offers maximum mounting flexibility for precise adjustments.

Overall Case Length Option

06: 60 mm total case length. The compact housing fits easily into tight bearing environments.

Total Length Option

10: 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) total cable length for immediate connection to extension leads.

Connector and Cable Option

01: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector. This moisture-resistant, vibration-proof link ensures signal integrity.

Agency Approval Option

CN: Country-specific hazardous area approvals, ensuring compliance with local safety standards.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Installation & Maintenance Guide

Precise calibration is vital for accuracy. Follow these standards:

Gap Voltage Calibration

Set the probe gap to approximately -10.0 VDC at the Proximitor. This ensures the sensor operates at the center of its linear range.

Cable Protection

Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch). Avoid tight kinks to prevent signal noise and shielding damage.

Connector Security

Keep ClickLoc™ connectors clean and dry. Use silicone lubricant in high-moisture areas to prevent terminal corrosion.

Engineering Advantages

The 3300 XL series offers unmatched reliability in harsh environments. Its Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip resists chemical corrosion and high-pressure oil. Additionally, this probe is fully backward compatible with older 3300 series systems, enabling cost-effective monitoring upgrades without complete hardware replacement.

Technical FAQs

Q1: How do I verify the installation gap?
A1: Measure the DC voltage between "Sig" and "Com" at the Proximitor; -10.0 VDC indicates a perfect 1.0 mm center gap.

Q2: What does the "CN" suffix mean?
A2: It confirms the probe meets specific regional explosion-proof certifications for use in hazardous industrial zones.

Q3: Can I mix 8mm probes with 5mm sensors?
A3: No. Mismatched components will cause incorrect scale factors. Always pair the 8mm probe with an 8mm Proximitor.
