Bently Nevada 330174-07-14-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Description

Designed for high-precision machinery vibration and positional monitoring, the Bently Nevada 330174-07-14-10-02-CN is a rugged 8mm proximity probe operating within the industry-standard 3300 XL series transducer system. This sensor delivers an electrical output directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target surface, making it an essential component for tracking shaft vibration, radial displacement, and axial thrust in rotating machinery.

This specific configuration is built for demanding physical integration. It features a 7 mm unthreaded case length and a 14 mm overall case length, making it ideal for restricted space or reverse-mount installations. The probe comes with a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) integrated cable terminated with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. Engineered to withstand harsh industrial fluids and temperature cycling, it integrates seamlessly with 3300 XL proximitors and extension cables for critical condition monitoring applications.

Features

• Optimized Threadless Case Design: Engineered with a 7 mm unthreaded section and a 14 mm total case length for specific reverse-mount mounting brackets.
• ClickLoc Coaxial Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector provides a reliable, vibration-resistant electrical connection with low signal loss.
• Broad Compatibility: Fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 XL series extension cables and proximity sensor modules.
• Durable PPS Probe Tip: Molded polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists chemical degradation and high temperatures.
• Regional Compliance: Configured with the CN approval suffix to meet country-specific localized industrial standards.

Applications

• Steam and gas turbine shaft vibration analysis.
• Centrifugal compressor radial displacement monitoring.
• Hydroelectric turbine generator shaft runout.
• Industrial gearbox thrust and axial position tracking.
• Cooling tower fan shaft alignment verification.

Installation Guidelines

• Calibration Alignment: Ensure target material calibration is verified (typically calibrated for AISI 4140 steel) before finalizing configuration values.
• Cable Routing: Maintain the specified minimum bend radius for coaxial cables to prevent internal signal loss and physical stress fatigue.
• Connector Protection: Ensure ClickLoc connectors remain clean, dry, and free of oil during assembly. Use silicone connector boots or self-fusing tape in high-moisture zones.
• Grounding Protocols: Keep the probe body and cable shield isolated from the local machine ground to eliminate ground loops.
