Bently Nevada 330130-040-11-00 | Extension Cable

Product Overview

The 330130-040-11-00 is an authentic 4.0-meter industrial extension cable from Bently Nevada's signature 3300 XL series. Featuring an integrated stainless steel armor profile and a total net assembly weight of 0.323 kg, this heavy-duty line is custom-engineered to link eddy current proximity probes with Proximitor Sensors. It provides flawless, shielded signal paths across key industrial machinery layout zones where mechanical hazards are high but specialized explosion-proof certifications are not requested.

Core Technical Advantages

• Rugged Mechanical Armor: Outfitted with an interlocking stainless steel armor sheath that successfully protects the internal triaxial conductors from sharp cuts, abrasion, pinching, and harsh compression forces common in heavy plant environments.
• FluidLoc Media Barrier: Features Bently Nevada's specialized internal FluidLoc compound which seals the inner core channels, preventing lubricating oils, cooling fluids, and moisture from migrating along the cable housing.
• Balanced Armor Weight Profile: Engineered with a solid 0.323 kg build that delivers maximum mechanical shielding without putting excessive strain or structural pull-weight on sensitive sensor terminal junction boxes.

Installation & Maintenance Guide

• Total Transducer Loop Calibration: Ensure that your 4.0-meter extension line matches your exact probe layout length (such as a 1.0-meter probe) to create a perfect total calibrated loop length required by the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. Mismatched loops cause immediate calibration drifts.
• Physical Routing Bend Radius: To keep the interlocking stainless steel armor and the internal FEP insulation safe from micro-fractures, maintain a minimum physical bending radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) during structural wiring hookups.
• Armor Earthing Check: Verify that the outer armored shell is properly isolated or correctly grounded according to your plant’s loop diagram rules to eliminate stray ground loops from corrupting the raw proximity signals.

Engineering Advantages

• Complete Interchangeability: This cable is fully interchangeable and backward-compatible with other non-XL 3300 series 5mm and 8mm transducer parts, saving extra maintenance overhead costs.
• Cost-Effective Core Option: By specifying the 00 approval option, plants can save budget on machine segments that do not encounter explosive vapors, while still retaining Bently Nevada's legendary hardware reliability.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What does the 11 option code signify compared to other Bently Nevada cable options?
A1: Option 11 indicates that the cable includes an outer layer of stainless steel armor and an internal FluidLoc seal, but does not include the plastic connector protector boots at the ends.

Q2: Can I install this 00 approval cable option inside an area that demands ATEX explosion-proof compliance?
A2: No. The 00 suffix indicates that hazardous area approvals are not requested or certified. For intrinsically safe or explosive environments, you should specify the 05 approval package instead.

Q3: Does the 0.323 kg armor layout affect the overall frequency performance of the proximity system?
A3: No. The outer armor is strictly mechanical. The inner core retains a premium 75Ω triaxial signal profile, keeping your dynamic vibration and static shaft position data clear and noise-free.
