Bently Nevada 330104-00-15-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-15-10-02-CN is a high-precision 8mm proximity probe from Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL series, a global standard for machinery protection systems. Proudly Made in the U.S.A., this sensor is designed for accurate radial vibration and axial position monitoring in critical rotating machinery. Featuring a 150mm overall case length and a 1.0-meter total cable length with stainless steel armor, this probe is engineered to deliver reliable performance in the harsh environments of power plants, refineries, and industrial processing facilities.

Core Technical Advantages

This proximity probe is built for long-term stability and precision, utilizing a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and an AISI 303/304 stainless steel case. The internal Viton® O-ring ensures a pressure-tight seal between the probe tip and case, making it suitable for applications with differential pressure. Electrically, it supports a -24 Vdc power supply and features a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector for a secure, vibration-resistant connection. The system is optimized for AISI 4140 steel targets, maintaining a sensitivity that ensures minimal signal distortion across its operating range.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

To achieve optimal accuracy, the probe must be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target surface. Mounting is handled via the M10 x 1 threaded housing, which should be secured firmly to prevent mechanical loosening. For the best performance, the probe must be paired with a 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor and an extension cable matched to the 1.0-meter length. Ensure the input voltage remains between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc; operation at a more positive voltage than -23.5 Vdc can lead to a reduction in the linear measurement range.

Engineering Advantages

Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL transducer systems offer unmatched interchangeability and thermal stability. The use of high-grade 303/304 SST and PPS materials provides excellent resistance to industrial solvents and corrosive oils. This probe is particularly well-suited for turbine vibration monitoring and gearbox health assessments, where precise data is required to detect early-stage faults. The "CN" certification ensures the hardware meets specific regional industrial safety and regulatory requirements, providing peace of mind for international deployment.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the significance of the "CN" agency approval?
A1: The "CN" designation indicates that the probe complies with specific country-specific agency approvals, ensuring it meets the regulatory and safety standards for the target region of installation.

Q2: Can I get a Certificate of Origin (COO) for this product?
A2: Yes. This product is manufactured in the USA, and an official Certificate of Origin (COO) is included to facilitate international shipping and compliance documentation.

Q3: Why is an AISI 4140 steel target recommended?
A3: The transducer system is factory-calibrated specifically for AISI 4140 steel. Using other target materials may affect the system accuracy and linear range, requiring field recalibration.
