Description

Engineered for critical machinery protection and continuous condition monitoring, the 330173-00-05-10-02-00 non-contacting proximity probe provides highly accurate measurements of shaft vibration, position, and speed. This sensor operates as a core component of the Bently Nevada 3300 series proximity transducer system, translating physical gap changes into proportional electrical signals for PLC, DCS, or machinery protection systems. Its robust mechanical construction allows it to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments, including high-temperature and fluid-exposed applications.

Features

• Constructed with a highly durable Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip for chemical and moisture resistance.
• Robust AISI 304 stainless steel (SST) probe case protects internal components against harsh environmental conditions.
• Equipped with a secure ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector to prevent accidental disconnections and maintain signal integrity.
• Optimized for integration with standard 3300 series proximity transducer systems.

Applications

• Steam and gas turbine vibration monitoring
• Centrifugal and reciprocating compressor shaft alignment verification
• Industrial pump displacement and speed sensing
• Heavy machinery thermal expansion and thrust position monitoring

Installation Guidelines

• Torque Limits: Ensure correct torque values are applied during thread installation to prevent case deformation or damage to internal sensors.
• Cable Routing: Route the coaxial cable away from high-voltage electrical lines and high-temperature machinery surfaces to prevent signal interference and thermal degradation.
• Conduit Protection: For harsh industrial zones, route probe cables through protective flexible conduit.
• Terminal Cleaning: Ensure coaxial connection points are free from oil, moisture, and dust before locking the ClickLoc connector.
