330130-085-13-00 Bently Nevada | Armored FluidLoc Cable

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-085-13-00 is an 8.5-meter armored extension cable specifically designed for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. This model features the premium Armored FluidLoc cable with an integrated connector protector, providing an advanced moisture and oil barrier. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this cable is built to handle the harshest machinery environments, offering superior pull strength and resistance to turbine oil. When paired with a 0.5m probe, it completes a 9-meter system, providing a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) for high-precision displacement and vibration measurements.

Core Technical Advantages

Armored FluidLoc™ with Connector Protection

Option 13 provides the ultimate defense against mechanical and environmental damage. The stainless steel armor prevents crushing and abrasion, while the FluidLoc interior prevents liquids from leaking through the cable into the Proximitor® Sensor. The factory-installed connector protector offers a more robust seal than silicone tape, making it the recommended choice for applications involving turbine oil.

Precision DC Resistance & Low Capacitance

To maintain a stable Average Scale Factor (ASF), this cable features a core resistance of 1.87 Ω and a typical capacitance of 69.9 pF/m. These tight electrical tolerances ensure that signal signal rolloff is minimized, providing a reliable -1 to -17 Vdc output across the full linear range.

Rugged "Made in USA" Quality

Built in the United States, Bently Nevada cables utilize patented CableLoc™ designs to provide 330 N (75 lbf) of pull strength. This ensures the connection between the probe tip and cable remains secure even under significant stress, while the available Certificate of Origin (COO) simplifies international compliance and quality assurance.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Safety Guidelines

• System Length Matching: Always ensure that the sum of the probe length and extension cable length matches the Proximitor Sensor’s calibrated length (e.g., 9m).
• Moisture Sealing: For oil-rich environments, the integrated connector protector must be used. Silicone tape is provided as an alternative but is not recommended for turbine oil exposure.
• Field Wiring: Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable (16 to 24 AWG) for connections between the sensor and the monitor, with a maximum length of 305 meters.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the benefit of the FluidLoc cable option?

A1: It prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable’s interior, protecting your field wiring and sensors from contamination.

Q2: Can I get a Certificate of Origin for this cable?

A2: Yes, a Certificate of Origin (COO) can be provided upon request to confirm the cable is Made in the U.S.A.

Q3: How does the armored version compare to the standard version?

A3: The armored version (0.875 kg) is significantly heavier and more durable than the standard version (0.289 kg), offering superior protection against crushing and abrasion.
