Bently Nevada 330103-00-09-10-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Description

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-09-10-02-05 is a high-precision proximity probe engineered with a metric M10 x 1 thread, featuring a 90 mm fully threaded case length and a 1.0-meter integrated cable. Designed without stainless steel armor, this specific configuration relies on standard coaxial cabling with a miniature ClickLoc connector and carries hazardous area approvals for CSA, ATEX, and IECEx installations. It provides a precise, non-contacting measurement solution for monitoring critical machinery vibration, displacement, and shaft position in high-reliability industrial applications.

As part of the 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System, this probe is optimized to deliver consistent, linear electrical output representing the physical gap between the probe tip and the observed target shaft. It is key to preventing catastrophic failures in high-speed rotating equipment by providing early warnings of shaft misalignments, imbalance, or bearing wear. This specific model is ideal for installations where metric M10 mounting threads are mandated and space constraints require a fully threaded 90 mm case with standard, flexible FEP cabling.

Features

• Metric Mounting Configuration: Equipped with a standard M10 x 1 thread pattern, suitable for direct integration into metric machine cases and bearing housings.
• Fully Threaded Body: Designed with 0 mm of unthreaded length (Option 00) for maximum installation versatility and precise depth adjustment.
• Extended Casing: Offers a 90 mm case length (Option 09) built from corrosion-resistant AISI 303/304 stainless steel, accommodating deep mounting arrangements.
• Unarmored FEP Cable: Fitted with a flexible 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) triaxial cable (Option 10) insulated with fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) to resist high operating temperatures and chemical exposure.
• ClickLoc Coaxial Connection: Includes a gold-plated miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector (Option 02) to guarantee a reliable, secure connection with the extension cable.
• Explosion-Proof Certification: Approved under Option 05 for CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous environments, matching industrial safety regulations.

Applications

• Machinery protection and condition monitoring in steam and gas turbines.
• Shaft radial vibration and axial thrust position tracking in centrifugal compressors.
• Eccentricity and speed measurement on rotating industrial machinery.
• Protection of heavy-duty pumps, gearboxes, and fans in oil, gas, power generation, and chemical facilities.

Installation Guidelines

• Gap Setting: Ensure correct gap adjustments during installation by checking the Proximitor output voltage. Set the gap to target -10.0 Vdc bias for standard 2.0 mm linear range alignment.
• Thread Engagement: Do not exceed the maximum recommended thread engagement of 15 mm during mounting to prevent mechanical binding.
• Cable Integrity: Maintain the minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) at all times during routing to avoid signal distortion or structural damage.
• Torque Limits: Tighten standard forward-mount metric probes using the recommended case torque of 7.5 N-m (66 in-lbf), avoiding the maximum rated torque threshold of 22.6 N-m (200 in-lbf).

Compliance and Certifications

• CSA approvals: Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 environments.
• ATEX / IECEx: Zone 0, 1, and 2 hazardous areas.
• CE: Electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage directives compliant.
