Bently Nevada 330173-00-18-10-02-05 3300 5mm Proximity Probe

Description

330173-00-18-10-02-05 specifies this unarmored 3300 5mm Proximity Probe configuration featuring a fully threaded M8 x 1 metric case (0 mm unthreaded length), 180 mm overall case length, 1.0 m total length, standard non-armored FEP cable with miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, and CSA/ATEX/IECEx approvals.

Unlike configurations with protective armor (such as the 330174 series) or integrated connector protectors (Option 01), this specific variant is unarmored and employs standard coaxial cabling with a bare ClickLoc connector (Option 02) for streamlined routing through conduit. The 180 mm metric case (Option 18) provides extended reach in standard machinery mounts where a 1.0 m total length (Option 10) is required to exit the machine casing before connecting to an extension cable.

Features

• Metric M8 x 1 Mounting Thread: Unarmored brass or stainless steel body with a 5.2 mm tip diameter, optimized for close-clearance applications.
• 0 mm Unthreaded Length (Option 00): Fully threaded case allows maximum adjustability within standard threaded brackets or machinery walls.
• 180 mm Overall Case Length (Option 18): Long-reach probe body suitable for deep mounting depths in large or double-walled industrial casings.
• 1.0 m Total Cable Length (Option 10): Offers a 1.0 meter integral cable (standard FEP insulated) for standard connection layouts.
• ClickLoc Miniature Coaxial Connector (Option 02): Equipped with a miniature male ClickLoc coaxial connector on a standard, non-armored triaxial cable.
• Agency Approved (Option 05): Certified for hazardous locations with multiple agency approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx) for intrinsically safe installations.
• Patented TipLoc Molding: Yields a high-strength, robust bond between the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and the stainless steel probe body.

Applications

• Vibration monitoring on machinery with limited mounting clearance or smaller shaft diameters (down to 50.8 mm).
• Radial vibration and axial position measurements in fluid-film bearing machines (such as smaller turbines, pumps, and compressors).
• Speed and Keyphasor phase reference measurements where high-frequency resolution is required.
• Hazardous environment installations requiring CSA, ATEX, or IECEx certified intrinsically safe instrumentation.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting Torque: Recommended tightening torque is 5.1 N-m (45 in-lb) for probe case mounting. Do not exceed maximum torque of 7.3 N-m (65 in-lb) to prevent thread or case damage.
• Cable Routing: Maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) along the FEP triaxial cable. Ensure the cable is secured to avoid chafing or mechanical wear from rotating parts.
• Connector Assembly: Clean coaxial connectors before joining. Hand-tighten the ClickLoc connectors until they "click" into place. Do not use tools unless joining non-XL connectors, which require a finger-tight plus 1/8-turn tight.
• Target Calibration: The system is calibrated for an AISI 4140 steel target. Calibration adjustments may be necessary if monitoring other materials. Ensure the target is at least 15.2 mm (0.6 in) in diameter for accurate scale performance.

Compliance and Certifications

• CE Mark: Complies with applicable European standards.
• EMC Directive: EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 compliant.
• Hazardous Area Approvals (Option 05): CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approved for intrinsically safe Zone 0/Class I, Division 1 and non-sparking/ec Zone 2/Class I, Division 2 applications.
• RoHS Directive: Complies with Directive 2011/65/EU.
