Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-10-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-10-02-05 is a premium 8mm proximity sensor designed for the rigorous demands of industrial machinery protection. Featuring an **M10x1 thread** and a deep-reach **140mm case**, it is specifically built for installations requiring extended mounting depth through machine casings. This model is distinguished by its **comprehensive agency approvals (ATEX, IECEx, and CSA)**, making it suitable for global use in hazardous locations. The **1.0-meter armored cable** and ClickLoc™ miniature coaxial connector ensure maximum physical protection and signal integrity, providing reliable eddy-current sensing for shaft vibration and axial position.

Core Technical Advantages

Hazardous Area Certified (Option 05)

Safety is paramount in petrochemical and power generation sectors. The 330104-00-14-10-02-05 carries multiple certifications including ATEX, IECEx, and CSA. This ensures the probe meets strict international standards for intrinsic safety when integrated with compatible 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and safety barriers.

Mechanical Durability & Armor

Equipped with a stainless steel armor jacket over its 1.0-meter cable, this probe is resistant to abrasion, hot oil, and mechanical crushing. The AISI 303/304 stainless steel case and high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip provide a rugged housing that withstands harsh industrial fluids and extreme vibration.

Tight Electrical Tolerances

Precision is maintained through a nominal DC resistance of 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω. This tight electrical specification ensures seamless interchangeability within the 3300 XL system, allowing for accurate monitoring of an AISI 4140 steel target with a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) starting at just 0.25 mm from the target.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Handling Guidelines

• System Length Balance: This 1.0m probe must be paired with an 8.0m extension cable to meet the required 9-meter total system calibration for the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor.
• Environmental Limits: While rated for 2000m altitude and 93% humidity, ensure the ClickLoc connector is properly seated to maintain its IP67 rating in wet environments.
• Viton® O-Ring: The integrated O-ring provides a high-pressure seal between the probe and machine case. Inspect the O-ring for any cuts or debris before threading the probe into place.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the benefit of the armored cable?

A1: The stainless steel armor provides essential protection against mechanical damage in "open" machine areas where the cable might be stepped on, pinched, or exposed to abrasive debris.

Q2: Does this probe support hazardous area installation?

A2: Yes. Option 05 includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, allowing this probe to be used in Class I, Div 1 and Zone 0/1 environments worldwide.

Q3: Can I use this probe with other target materials?

A3: The standard calibration is for AISI 4140 steel. If your shaft material is different (e.g., stainless steel or aluminum), the system accuracy and scale factor will change, requiring custom calibration.
