Bently Nevada 330173-00-03-10-02-00 3300 5mm Proximity Probe

Description

An M8 x 1 threaded probe body with 0.0 mm unthreaded length (Option 00), a 30 mm case length (Option 03), and a 1.0 m total length lead (Option 10) specifies this unarmored 3300 5mm proximity probe configuration — 330173-00-03-10-02-00. This non-contact eddy-current sensor functions within a compatible transducer chain to measure static position or dynamic shaft vibration of rotating machinery. Because it does not feature stainless steel armor (distinguishing it from the 330174 series) and employs a ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector without an integrated connector protector, it offers a compact physical footprint for small-machinery applications where mounting space is tightly constrained.

The 3300 5mm proximity probe represents a structural improvement with a patented TipLoc molding method that bonds the probe tip securely to the body. This configuration includes a standard, non-armored cable jacket and requires no regulatory approvals (Option 00), facilitating standard installation in non-hazardous industrial zones. It maintains complete electrical compatibility and interchangeability with 3300 5mm-compliant Proximitor sensors and extension cables over the total system length.

Features

• M8 x 1 metric thread configuration with a fully threaded body (0.0 mm unthreaded portion).
• Compact 30 mm case length suitable for low-profile industrial mounting.
• 1.0 m total length integrated FEP insulated cable (without outer stainless steel armor).
• Standard ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector for secure mating with extension cables.
• No hazardous area approvals required (Option 00) for general-purpose environments.
• TipLoc patented molding method for a secure mechanical bond between the probe tip and body.

Applications

• Shaft vibration and axial position measurement on fluid-film bearing machinery.
• Keyphasor measurement and speed detection on high-speed rotating equipment.
• Small machinery vibration monitoring with limited radial or axial mounting clearance.
• Non-contact eddy-current displacement monitoring in non-hazardous plant environments.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the mounting bracket or hole is drilled and tapped correctly for the M8 x 1 metric thread. The maximum thread engagement length is 12 mm to prevent binding or case damage during installation. Tighten the probe case to the recommended torque of 5.1 N-m (45 in-lb). Do not exceed the maximum torque limit of 7.3 N-m (65 in-lb). The ClickLoc coaxial connector should be mated finger-tight to avoid damage to the gold-plated contacts. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) for the standard coaxial cable during routing.
