Bently Nevada 330104-00-16-50-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

Fully threaded M10 x 1 metric probe body (Option 00) with a 160 mm case length (Option 16) and a 5.0 m integrated armored cable (Option 50) specifies the 330104-00-16-50-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe. This machinery protection component is used to measure static (position) and dynamic (vibration) displacement on rotating machines.

This configuration incorporates stainless steel armor to shield the coaxial cable against mechanical wear, abrasion, and aggressive industrial environments. Unlike unarmored models or variants utilizing FluidLoc cables, this option balances standard ClickLoc miniature coaxial connections (Option 02) with a non-approved general-purpose configuration (Option 00) for installation environments where official hazardous area certifications are not required.

Features

• M10 x 1 Metric Thread: Equipped with a standard metric thread design for direct standard-mount mechanical integration.
• Stainless Steel Armor: Integrates high-durability armor shielding along the coaxial lead for enhanced physical defense in harsh operating zones.
• 0 mm Unthreaded Length: Fully threaded probe body (Option 00) optimizing thread engagement and positioning depth.
• 160 mm Case Length: Extended case length option (Option 16) designed for deeper mechanical mounting penetrations.
• 5.0 Meter Total Length: Configured as a 5-meter transducer loop (Option 50), which matches and pairs specifically with 5-meter 3300 XL Proximitor sensors.
• Miniature ClickLoc Connector: Standard coaxial ClickLoc connection (Option 02) providing reliable high-frequency signal coupling without requiring a connector protector.

Applications

Typical heavy-industry machinery monitoring applications include:

• Steam and gas turbines
• Industrial compressors and gearboxes
• Hydroelectric and cooling water pumps
• Shaft dynamic vibration and axial position measurement on high-speed rotating shafts

Installation Guidelines

Ensure correct mechanical installation and robust performance by following these guidelines:

• Thread Engagement: Thread engagement must not exceed 15 mm to prevent binding during installation into the mounting port.
• Cable Routing: Avoid sharp bends or pinching of the armored cable to protect the internal coaxial lead. Ensure minimum bend radius exceeds 25.4 mm (1.0 inch).
• Gapping: Mount the probe and adjust the mechanical gap to the nominal recommended distance of 1.27 mm (50 mils) using a feeler gauge, or by measuring the corresponding DC voltage at the Proximitor sensor.
• Connector Maintenance: Keep coaxial connectors clean, dry, and free of dirt or contaminants. Finger-tighten gold "click" style ClickLoc connectors securely.

Compliance and Certifications

This configuration (Option 00) is intended for general-purpose industrial environments where hazardous area certifications are not required. It is manufactured under strict quality control standards established by Bently Nevada.
