330104-00-13-05-02-CN Bently Nevada 8mm Probe Stainless Armor

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-05-02-CN is a high-precision 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe engineered for critical machinery protection and vibration monitoring. This sensor utilizes eddy current technology to measure the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, such as a rotating shaft. Featuring an M10 x 1 threaded stainless steel case and ruggedized armor, the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN is designed to withstand the harsh environments of industrial turbines, compressors, and pumps, providing essential data for predictive maintenance and system safety.

Technical Configuration

Durable Material Construction

The 330104-00-13-05-02-CN is built with an AISI 303/304 stainless steel case and a Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip. This combination ensures maximum resistance to corrosion and high-pressure differentials. The probe tip is sealed against the case using a Viton® O-ring, ensuring reliable performance even when subjected to significant pressure gradients between the machine interior and the external environment.

Advanced Connectivity

Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector, the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN facilitates a secure, vibration-resistant connection to the extension cable. The standard cable is protected by stainless steel armor, which prevents mechanical damage and reduces electrical noise interference, ensuring that the Proximitor sensor receives a clean, accurate signal for processing.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance Guide

• Mechanical Gap: For optimal linearity, the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN should be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the AISI 4140 steel target.
• Environmental Limits: Ensure operation within the calibrated temperature range of +18°C to +27°C for maximum accuracy.
• Handling Cables: Avoid sharp bends in the armored cable. The minimum bend radius should be respected to prevent damage to the internal coaxial core of the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN.
• Weight Considerations: The lightweight design of the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN allows for mounting in sensitive vibration environments without significantly altering the natural frequency of the probe mounting bracket.

Engineering Advantages

The 330104-00-13-05-02-CN offers superior interchangeability within the 3300 XL ecosystem. Because it is designed to precise resistance standards (7.59 Ω ± 0.50 for the 1.0m system variant), it allows for consistent performance across multiple sensor installations. This consistency is vital for large-scale industrial plants that require standardized monitoring of shaft position, axial thrust, and radial vibration. When paired with a genuine Bently Nevada Proximitor, the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN provides the high sensitivity and low supply-voltage-noise required for API 670 compliant machinery protection systems.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Is this probe compatible with non-Bently Nevada Proximitors?
A1: No. To maintain accuracy and warranty, the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN must be used exclusively with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm components.

Q2: Can the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN be used in high-altitude environments?
A2: Yes, it is rated for use up to 2000 meters. For applications above this altitude, please consult Bently Nevada technical support.

Q3: Does the probe include a Certificate of Origin (COO)?
A3: Yes, a COO can be added to the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN to verify its manufacturing origin in the U.S.A.
