Bently Nevada 330173-00-05-10-12-00 3300 Probe Proksimit 5 mm

Description

Option 00 (0.0 mm unthreaded length), Option 05 (50 mm overall case length), Option 10 (1.0 meter total length), and Option 12 (FluidLoc cable with miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector) specify this unarmored M8 x 1 threaded metric probe configuration — 330173-00-05-10-12-00.

This eddy-current proximity probe belongs to the Bently Nevada 3300 5 mm Transducer System family. It is used for non-contact shaft vibration and axial position measurements on rotating machinery, especially in tight or low-profile mounting spaces where larger probes cannot fit. Unlike standard cable options, the integrated FluidLoc cable prevents lube oil and other process fluids from leaking out of the machine housing through the cable's inner core. The unarmored design offers maximum flexibility for routing through conduits, and the probe does not require external hazardous area approvals under Option 00.

Features

• Option 12 FluidLoc cable prevents process oil and fluid leakage through the internal cable core.
• Option 00 unthreaded case length of 0.0 mm allows for fully threaded mounting into machinery walls.
• Option 05 provides a 50 mm overall case length with metric M8 x 1 threads for standard metric installations.
• Option 10 specifies a 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) integrated probe cable length.
• Option 00 designates that no hazardous area agency approvals are required.
• Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector facilitates quick, secure coupling to the 3300 XL extension cable without specialized tooling.
• 5.2 mm tip diameter is ideal for small shaft diameters and constrained installation environments.

Applications

• Dynamic shaft vibration and radial position monitoring on small rotating machinery
• Axial shaft position and thrust displacement measurements
• Keyphasor and speed measurement applications
• Machinery with limited mounting clearance or narrow access ports
• Wet environments or machine casings requiring fluid containment via FluidLoc cable sealing

Installation Guidelines

• Grounding: Ensure the outer shield of the extension cable is electrically isolated from the machinery ground at the probe end and properly connected to the monitor ground at the Proximitor end.
• Mounting: Standard mount M8 x 1 thread requires the locknut to be secured with a maximum torque of 7.3 N-m (65 in-lb) to prevent damage. The recommended torque is 5.1 N-m (45 in-lb).
• Thread Engagement: Do not exceed the standard class fit limits of 12 mm maximum to prevent binding during installation.
• Cable Routing: Maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) to prevent internal conductor damage.
• Connector Protection: Use self-fusing silicone tape to protect the connection between the probe and extension cable from environmental contamination, except in applications where it is directly exposed to turbine oil.

Compliance and Certifications

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. It is also compliant with applicable European Union CE EMC directives. Option 00 designates that no hazardous area agency approvals or safety-agency markings are required or supplied under this option configuration.
