Bently Nevada 330191-00-16-10-CN | 3300 XL 8 mm Extended Temperature Range (ETR) Proximity Probes

Product Overview

Bently Nevada 330191-00-16-10-CN is a 3300 XL 8 mm Extended Temperature Range (ETR) proximity probe designed for vibration and shaft displacement monitoring in high-temperature rotating machinery environments. It is commonly applied in turbines, compressors, and refinery pumps where thermal stability and measurement accuracy directly affect machine protection logic.

The ETR design extends operating capability beyond standard probe temperature limits, ensuring stable signal behavior in hot housing zones and aggressive industrial conditions. The 1.0 meter system length supports standard installation routing in compact machine assemblies.

CN approval marking supports deployment in regulated hazardous areas with compliance requirements such as ATEX, IECEx, and NEPSI.

Configuration Interpretation

This configuration defines probe geometry, installation depth, and compliance classification for industrial safety environments.

Yes. It integrates with standard 3300 XL system architecture.

Installation & Field Engineering Notes

Maintain stable probe gap calibration during cold shutdown conditions for repeatable signal accuracy.

Avoid direct contact between probe cable and hot surfaces to prevent insulation degradation.

Use proper strain relief near connector to reduce vibration-induced mechanical stress.

Ensure proper grounding of cable shield to maintain signal integrity in EMI-heavy environments.

Engineering Application Guidance

The ETR probe structure is optimized for environments with elevated ambient and housing temperatures.

It improves signal stability in turbine bearing housings and compressor casings where thermal drift affects standard probes.

Mechanical design ensures compatibility with existing 3300 XL installation footprints.

Proper installation alignment is critical to avoid phase shift in vibration readings.
