Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-05-02-CN 8mm Proximity Probe

Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-05-02-CN 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-14-05-02-CN is a high-precision 8mm eddy current proximity probe, part of the globally recognized Bently Nevada 3300 XL series. Proudly Made in the U.S.A., this probe is designed for critical machinery protection, offering reliable displacement and vibration measurements for rotating equipment. Featuring a 0.5-meter total length and a rugged M10 x 1 threaded stainless steel case with protective armor, this sensor ensures high-fidelity signal transmission and long-term durability in harsh industrial environments.

Core Technical Advantages

Constructed from AISI 303/304 stainless steel and a high-performance Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip, this probe is engineered to maintain a pressure-tight seal via an integrated Viton® O-ring. The hardware is optimized for a -24 Vdc power environment, delivering a stable 50 Ω output resistance and superior supply sensitivity (less than 2 mV change per volt). The inclusion of the Miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection to extension cables, while the 0.5m armored cable provides essential mechanical protection against industrial wear and chemical exposure.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

For optimal performance, the probe should be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) against an AISI 4140 steel target. Ensure the M10 threaded case is securely mounted to prevent mechanical loosening under machine vibration. When connecting to a Proximitor® sensor, ensure the input voltage remains between -23 Vdc and -26 Vdc (when using barriers) to maintain the full linear range. The 0.5-meter armored cable should be routed with care; although protected by SST armor, avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius to protect the internal miniature coaxial conductor.

Engineering Advantages

Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL system is the industry standard for machinery diagnostics. This probe’s ability to seal differential pressure between the tip and case makes it ideal for internal mounting in gearboxes or bearing housings where oil and pressure containment are required. The "CN" agency approval ensures compliance with country-specific industrial safety standards. By using genuine AISI 303/304 materials and Viton® seals, this transducer system provides deterministic, repeatable data essential for predictive maintenance programs in power plants and refineries.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series Proximitors?
A1: Yes, the 3300 XL 8mm probe is designed to be backwards compatible with standard 3300-series 5mm and 8mm Proximitor sensors and extension cables.

Q2: Can I get a Certificate of Origin (COO) for this product?
A2: Yes. As this product is Made in the U.S.A., a formal Certificate of Origin can be provided upon request to support your international shipping and compliance needs.

Q3: What is the benefit of the ClickLoc™ connector?
A3: The ClickLoc™ connector provides a positive, tactile locking mechanism that prevents the cable from disconnecting due to machinery vibration, ensuring a continuous and reliable signal path.
