Bently Nevada 330104-05-12-05-02-05 8mm Probe Armor

Product Overview

The BENTLY NEVADA 330104-05-12-05-02-05 is a high-precision 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for critical vibration and position monitoring in industrial machinery. This model features an M10 x 1 threaded case with integrated armor for enhanced mechanical protection. Engineered for reliability, it provides non-contacting measurement of shaft motion and position when used with a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. This probe is manufactured in the U.S.A. and can be provided with a Certificate of Origin (COO) upon request.

Technical Configuration

Robust Mechanical Construction

The probe tip is crafted from high-grade Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), while the case is constructed from AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. With a net weight of approximately 0.28 kg (0.62 lbs), this lightweight yet durable module is designed for long-term stability in harsh environments. To maintain pressure integrity, the 330104-05-12-05-02-05 utilizes a Viton O-ring seal to manage differential pressure between the tip and the case.

Secure Connectivity

This configuration utilizes the Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector (Option 02), designed for secure, vibration-resistant connections to standard extension cables. The integrated armor provides an additional layer of protection for the cable, ensuring signal stability in high-stress industrial applications.

Technical Specifications

Performance Characteristics

For optimal accuracy, the 330104-05-12-05-02-05 system should be calibrated using an AISI 4140 steel target. Standard performance specifications are based on a probe gap of 1.27 mm (50 mils) and a power supply range of -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc (when using barriers). Operation at voltages more positive than -23.5 Vdc may result in a reduced linear range. The system sensitivity remains stable with less than 2 mV change in output voltage per volt change in input voltage.

Engineering Advantages

• ClickLoc Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a reliable, snap-lock interface that resists disconnection during machine operation.
• Enhanced Protection: Integrated stainless steel armor shields the cable from physical damage and environmental hazards.
• Broad Compliance: Fully certified for hazardous areas with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, suitable for global industrial deployments.
• Precision Sealing: Viton O-ring technology provides a superior pressure seal between the probe tip and case.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the benefit of the M10 x 1 thread with armor?
A1: The M10 x 1 thread allows for standard metric installation, while the armor provides essential mechanical protection for the cable in high-wear or abrasive environments.

Q2: Can I use this probe with a target other than AISI 4140 steel?
A2: While the probe will function, the system accuracy specifications specifically apply to AISI 4140 steel targets. Other targets require custom calibration.

Q3: Is this probe suitable for high-altitude applications?
A3: Yes, standard performance specifications are rated for altitudes up to 2000 meters.
