Description

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-19-15-11-05 is an 8 mm proximity probe belonging to the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This eddy current sensor generates an electrical output signal directly proportional to the static or dynamic distance between the probe tip and the observed target area. It is specifically optimized for fluid-film bearing machines to track key metrics such as radial vibration, axial position, shaft speed, and Keyphasor timing reference measurements.

Designed to fully satisfy the mechanical, linear range, and thermal stability stipulations of the American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 Standard, the 330101-00-19-15-11-05 features complete electrical and physical interchangeability across standard 3300 XL elements. The integrated design utilizes premium construction methods to endure severe industrial environments, providing high immunity to radio frequency interference and dependable moisture sealing.

Features

• Rugged Bonding Integrity: Built using a patented TipLoc molding method that ensures an extremely robust mechanical connection between the probe tip and the stainless steel body.
• Enhanced Cable Anchorage: Incorporates a patented CableLoc design to provide up to 330 N (75 lbf) of pull strength between the probe tip and the integral cable.
• Leakage Mitigation: Features FluidLoc cable technology to prevent lubricating oil or other process liquids from migrating through the internal jacket out of the machine housing.
• Corrosion-Resistant Interconnects: Equipped with gold-plated ClickLoc coaxial connectors that secure with a finger-tight torque, avoiding unintended loosening without specialized tools.
• RFI Immunity: High resistance to radio frequency fields enables proper installation inside fiberglass terminal enclosures without experiencing signal degradation.
• Universal Compatibility: Backward compatible and physically interchangeable with standard non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer parts.

Applications

• Fluid-film bearing machines radial vibration and axial position monitoring.
• Keyphasor phase reference and rotational shaft speed measurement.
• Industrial turbomachinery, pumps, compressors, and high-speed gearboxes.
• API 670 compliant machinery protection and safety-instrumented systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Torque Specifications: Tighten the 3/8-24 UNF probe threads during bracket or housing assembly to a nominal installation torque of 22.6 Nm (200 in-lbf). Do not exceed the absolute limit of 33.9 Nm (300 in-lbf).
• Connector Connection: Ensure gold-plated ClickLoc connector components are dry and clean before coupling. Turn the locking sleeve finger-tight until a distinct mechanical click is felt. Do not use tools.
• Cable Routing Protection: Keep the FEP-insulated triaxial cable within its minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) during installation to safeguard the transmission line impedance.
• Cross-Talk Minimization: Maintain a minimum tip-to-tip clearance of 40 mm (1.6 in) for adjacent axial probes or 38 mm (1.5 in) for adjacent radial vibration probes to avoid magnetic cross-talk.
• Thread Engagement Limits: Ensure maximum thread engagement into the mounting bracket does not exceed 14.3 mm (0.563 in) to avoid binding or damaging the sensor structure.

Compliance and Certifications

• EMC Directives: Complies with European Community Directive 2014/30/EU standards including EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4.
• RoHS: Complies with European RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU guidelines.
• Functional Safety: Certified for use in safety-instrumented topologies up to SIL 2 under appropriate design constraints.
