Bently Nevada 330102-00-40-05-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe with Armor

Description

Option 00 (0.0 in unthreaded length) and Option 40 (4.0 in overall case length) specify this armored 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe configuration — 330102-00-40-05-01-05. This probe features a 3/8-24 UNF threaded steel body with integrated flexible stainless steel armor and an outer FEP jacket, protecting the FEP-insulated coaxial cable from physical wear, abrasion, and environmental contamination. The 0.5-meter total length matches close-coupled layout constraints when connecting directly to standard extension cables within a 3300 XL transducer system.

Unlike non-armored variants such as the 330101, this armored probe prevents mechanical damage in high-wear machinery compartments. It operates via the non-contact eddy-current principle to measure static or dynamic distance between the probe tip and a target surface, typically a steel shaft. This specific configuration includes a coaxial ClickLoc connector with an integrated connector protector (Option 01) and carries global agency certifications (Option 05) for hazardous locations.

Features

• 3/8-24 UNF threaded steel case with a case length of 4.0 inches (Option 40) and 0.0 inches of unthreaded length (Option 00).
• Flexible stainless steel armor with an FEP outer jacket provides physical protection to the FEP-insulated coaxial cable.
• Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector equipped with an integrated connector protector (Option 01).
• Total probe length of 0.5 meters (Option 05) for close-proximity connections.
• Agency approval package (Option 05) covering CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications for hazardous environments.
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip material for chemical resistance in demanding industrial environments.

Applications

• Shaft vibration and axial position measurement on high-speed rotating machinery.
• Industrial turbomachinery monitoring in power generation, chemical processing, and oil and gas facilities.
• Machine protection systems requiring physical cable protection against debris and wear.
• Hazardous location installations requiring ATEX, IECEx, or CSA compliance.

Installation Guidelines

• Install the probe with a maximum tightening torque of 11.2 N-m (100 in-lbf) for standard forward-mounted cases.
• Maintain the minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) for both the armored probe cable and the extension cable.
• Ensure the ClickLoc connectors are finger-tight before applying any secondary locking or taping.
• Avoid routing the cable near high-voltage lines or sources of heavy electromagnetic interference.

Compliance and Certifications

• CSA certified for hazardous area locations.
• ATEX certified (Group II, Category 1 G and 3 G).
• IECEx certified (Ex ia IIC T5...T1 Ga, Ex nA IIC T5...T1 Gc).
