330104-00-04-10-11-00 Bently Nevada 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-04-10-11-00 is an advanced 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe designed for high-fidelity machinery surveillance. This armored model is engineered for precision measurement in tight spaces, offering exact displacement readings within ±0.01 mm. Manufactured in the U.S.A., it features an M10 x 1 thread and a 1.0-meter armored cable, delivering a robust solution for monitoring shaft vibration and position in fans, pumps, and motors where reliability is non-negotiable.

Core Technical Advantages

Mechanical Armor & Connector Protector

This configuration includes a stainless steel armored cable to protect the internal 50-ohm coaxial core from mechanical stress. Additionally, the ClickLoc connector is fitted with a specialized connector protector, ensuring a clean, moisture-proof interface that prevents signal drift caused by industrial fluids or debris.

Extreme Environmental Resilience

Built to perform in demanding plant conditions, the probe functions reliably across a broad temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is specifically designed to maintain measurement accuracy under constant vibration levels up to 5 g, ensuring stable data in high-dynamic machinery environments.

High-Integrity Pressure Sealing

Utilizing a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and a Viton® O-ring, the probe creates a high-reliability seal against differential pressure between the tip and the AISI 303/304 stainless steel case. This ensures the integrity of the machine housing is maintained during continuous operation.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance Notes

• Gap Setting: For optimal linearity, the probe should be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) against a calibrated AISI 4140 steel target.
• Protector Usage: Ensure the connector protector is fully seated during installation to maintain the IP-rated environmental seal.
• Handling: While armored, the cable should not be subjected to sharp kinks. Observe the minimum bend radius to preserve the coaxial impedance.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Does this probe require agency approvals?

A1: The "00" option indicates that no agency approvals are required. This model is intended for general industrial use in non-hazardous locations.

Q2: What is the benefit of the armored cable?

A2: The stainless steel armor provides protection against abrasive environments and physical impact, significantly extending the life of the probe in field applications.

Q3: How does the connector protector affect performance?

A3: It serves as a defensive barrier against moisture and oil ingress at the connection point, which is the most common cause of high-resistance faults and signal degradation.
