Bently Nevada 330901-00-10-10-02-05 3300 NSv Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330901-00-10-10-02-05 is a high-precision proximity probe from Bently Nevada’s 3300 NSv (Narrow Side View) series, specifically engineered for applications with tight installation clearances. Designed for use in small centrifugal air compressors, pumps, and other machinery where standard probe mounting is restricted, this probe features a compact 1/4-28 UNF thread and a 1.0-inch overall case length. This "Made in the U.S.A." sensor provides accurate radial vibration and axial position measurements, ensuring reliable condition monitoring for high-speed rotating assets.

Core Technical Advantages

The 3300 NSv system is optimized for target materials and environments where a smaller probe footprint is mandatory. This module operates with a 10 VDC voltage and a 25 mA current draw, delivering a consistent frequency response from DC up to 2 kHz. The hardware is factory-calibrated to maintain superior accuracy in varied environmental conditions, featuring an IP65 ingress protection rating and a vibration tolerance of 10 g. The inclusion of the miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector ensures a robust, vibration-resistant electrical path without the need for additional armor in space-constrained installations.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

To ensure maximum linearity, the 3300 NSv probe should be installed following factory-specified gapping procedures for capacitive-type sensors. The 1/4-28 UNF threads should be tightened with precision tools to avoid over-torquing the small-diameter housing. Given its "without armor" configuration, the 1.0-meter cable should be routed through protective conduit if exposed to mechanical hazards. The ClickLoc™ connector must be kept clean and dry during assembly to maintain signal integrity within the -20°C to 70°C operating temperature range.

Engineering Advantages

Bently Nevada’s NSv technology is the premier choice for machinery with small shafts or where side-view clearance is limited, preventing the "side-view" interference common with larger probes. The "Option 05" approval package ensures this sensor is compliant for use in multiple hazardous areas worldwide. By utilizing high-quality American manufacturing and rigorous factory calibration, this probe provides a deterministic response for high-frequency vibration monitoring, allowing engineers to detect early-stage mechanical faults in compact rotating equipment.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the main benefit of the NSv series over the 3300 XL series?
A1: The NSv (Narrow Side View) series is specifically designed for smaller targets and tighter spaces where a standard 8mm probe would experience signal distortion due to surrounding metal or small shaft diameters.

Q2: Does this probe require a specific Proximitor sensor?
A2: Yes. This probe must be used with a 3300 NSv Proximitor Sensor to ensure the electrical characteristics and calibration curves match the capacitive sensing technology.

Q3: Is a Certificate of Origin available?
A3: Since this product is Made in the U.S.A., we can provide an official Certificate of Origin (COO) upon request to meet your international shipping and documentation requirements.
