3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe Bently Nevada 330101-00-12-05-02-05

Product Overview

The 330101-00-12-05-02-05 is an 8 mm proximity probe from Bently Nevada's 3300 XL Transducer System. Designed for non-contact vibration and displacement monitoring on industrial machinery, it features 3 patented technologies including CableLoc retention withstanding 330 N (75 lbf) pull force. Configured with a 3/8-24 UNF thread, 0.0 in unthreaded length, 1.2 in case length, 0.5 m (1.6 ft) cable with a cable weight density of 323 g/m (11.4 oz), Miniature coaxial Click-Loc connector, and multiple agency approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx), it ensures superior signal integrity in extreme environments.

Core Technical Advantages

• CableLoc & TipLoc Engineering: Patented construction secures the probe tip and provides 330 N (75 lbf) cable pull strength to prevent field mechanical damage.
• Precision Linearity: Features 3/8-24 UNF threading with ±0.025 mm (±1 mil) linearity deviation across its dynamic operating range.
• Extreme Operating Range: Probe tip tolerates severe temperature fluctuations from -52 °C to +218 °C (-62 °F to +425 °F).
• Environmental Robustness: Viton O-ring pressure seal delivers >500 PSI burst resistance and handles 93% relative humidity stability for 56 days.

Technical Specifications

Industrial Solutions

• Turbine Thrust & Radial Vibration: Monitors high-speed shaft displacement in power generation turbines.
• Compressor Bearing Housing: Measures dynamic oil film clearance in heavy-duty petrochemical gas compressors.
• Hazardous Area Machinery: Certified for deployment in ATEX and IECEx explosive gas atmospheres.
• High-Humidity Environments: Stable operation in coastal and marine installations with up to 93% relative humidity.

Wiring & Installation

Gap Adjustment

Set the probe mechanical gap to achieve an optimal -9 Vdc output voltage (1.27 mm / 50 mils gap) for maximum linear sensitivity.

Cable Routing

Route the 0.5 m cable (323 g/m weight rating) through conduit, using a 3-conductor shielded triad cable to eliminate stray electrical noise.

Click-Loc Connection

Push and turn the Miniature coaxial Click-Loc connector onto the matching extension cable until positive tactile latching is confirmed.

Grounding & Isolation

Ensure proper shielding practices and ground connections at the Proximitor unit to maintain signal stability over long cable runs up to 305 m.

Engineering Advantages

• Fluid Migration Protection: FluidLoc configuration prevents internal oil and gas bypass through the cable core.
• Rugged Stainless Steel Case: Corrosion-resistant AISI 303/304 casing withstands severe industrial environments.
• Thermal Stability: Maintains ±5% scale factor consistency across broad operating temperature sweeps.
