Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-05-02-00 0.5m Armored Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-05-02-00 is an industrial-grade 8mm proximity probe, a key component of the 3300 XL Transducer System. This model is characterized by its extended **140mm case length** and **M10x1 metric thread**, making it perfect for installation through thick machine housings or specialized mounting brackets. The **0.5-meter armored cable** provides superior mechanical protection against abrasion and crushing, while the ClickLoc™ miniature coaxial connector ensures a secure, moisture-proof seal. Molded with a 30% glass-reinforced PPS tip, this probe is built to maintain signal integrity in the presence of turbine oils and high-vibration environments.

Core Technical Advantages

Precision Electrical Performance

With a nominal DC resistance of 7.45 Ω ± 0.5 Ω for its 0.5m length, the 330104-00-14-05-02-00 ensures tight calibration tolerance. This electrical precision, combined with a supply sensitivity of less than 2mV/V, guarantees a stable and linear output from -1 to -17 Vdc, allowing for accurate monitoring of critical shaft clearances.

Robust Mechanical Protection

The stainless steel armored construction protects the internal FEP-insulated leads from harsh factory floor conditions. Furthermore, the probe tip and case are designed to seal differential pressure up to 3.5 bar (50 psi), utilizing a high-grade Viton® O-ring to prevent fluid leakage from the machine casing.

ClickLoc™ Reliability

The factory-installed ClickLoc™ connector offers an IP67 rating, shielding the signal connection from contaminants. Its unique "click" locking mechanism prevents the connector from loosening due to machinery vibration, ensuring consistent uptime for your vibration monitoring system.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Handling Guidelines

• System Length Matching: This 0.5m probe must be used with an 8.5m extension cable to achieve the standard 9-meter total system length required by the Proximitor Sensor.
• Gap Adjustment: Calibrate the air gap to 1.27 mm (50 mils) against the AISI 4140 steel target to ensure the sensor operates in its optimal linear range.
• Armor Precautions: When routing the armored cable, avoid sharp bends that could compromise the integrity of the stainless steel protection or the internal wiring.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Can this probe be used in hazardous locations?

A1: Yes, the 330104 series is ATEX/IECEx compliant when installed with the appropriate intrinsic safety barriers and Proximitor sensors.

Q2: What is the benefit of the 140mm case?

A2: The 140mm case length (Option 14) is specifically intended for machines with thick walls or internal obstructions where a standard probe cannot reach the target surface.

Q3: Is the Viton® O-ring included?

A3: Yes, the probe features a built-in Viton® O-ring to ensure a differential pressure seal up to 3.5 bar at the installation point.
