Bently Nevada 330103-00-13-05-02-00 | 130mm Case 8mm Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-13-05-02-00 is an extended-reach 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe, precision-engineered for deep-well mounting in industrial machinery. This metric-threaded (M10x1) sensor is distinguished by its 130mm overall case length and 0.5-meter (1.6 feet) lead cable. With a calibrated product weight of 0.323 kg, it provides high-sensitivity measurements for radial vibration and axial position in large-scale turbines and gearboxes.

Key Technical Features

Extended Reach Engineering

Unlike standard short-case probes, the 130mm case option is designed for applications where the mounting point is recessed or located far from the target shaft. The AISI 303/304 stainless steel housing ensures mechanical rigidity over the extended length, while the 0mm unthreaded length allows for maximum thread engagement and mounting flexibility.

Advanced Signal Integrity

The 330103-00-13-05-02-00 utilizes the gold-plated Miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector system. This "lock-in" design is essential for maintaining signal purity in high-vibration environments, preventing the connector from loosening and ensuring real-time data transmission for critical machine protection systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Durability

Designed for the toughest industrial zones, the probe tip is molded from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), a high-performance polymer resistant to chemical erosion and extreme heat. The internal Viton® O-ring provides a robust seal against differential pressure. For optimal performance, the probe should be gapped at -9 Vdc and integrated with a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor for a calibrated 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) output.

Industrial Applications

This 3300 XL probe is essential for monitoring machinery dynamics where space efficiency and accuracy are paramount. Its high frequency response (up to 12kHz) and low noise floor make it a critical component for condition-based maintenance programs in power generation, oil and gas, and water treatment facilities.

Technical FAQs

Q1: When should I choose a 130mm case over a shorter model?
A1: The 130mm case is used when the probe must pass through thick machine housings or thermal insulation to reach the monitoring surface.

Q2: Does this probe require a specific agency approval?
A2: This model is Option 00 (Not required), which is typically used in non-hazardous areas or internal machine compartments where specialized explosion-proof ratings are not specified.

Q3: Can the cable length be extended?
A3: This probe features a 0.5m lead. It must be paired with a 3300 XL extension cable (typically 4.0m or 4.5m) to achieve a total system length of 5.0 or 9.0 meters.
