Bently Nevada 330101-00-18-15-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

The 330101-00-18-15-12-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe configured with 0.0 in unthreaded length (Option 00), 1.8 in case length (Option 18), 1.5 m total system length (Option 15), and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable (Option 12), certified with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx agency approvals (Option 05). This non-contact, eddy-current displacement transducer is a core component of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, designed for precise, continuous monitoring of shaft vibration and axial position in critical rotating machinery. The system pairs this probe with a matching 3300 XL extension cable and a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor. The 1.5 m total length configuration is calibrated for optimal signal integrity when paired with system components of equivalent lengths, ensuring accurate gap measurement and vibration data in demanding industrial environments. The FluidLoc cable construction provides superior resistance to harsh process environments where oil or gas leakage paths through the cable assembly must be prevented.

Features

• 8 mm probe tip diameter for high-resolution displacement measurement
• 3/8-24 UNF-2A thread, fully threaded body (Option 00) for versatile mounting
• 1.8 in case length (Option 18) for standard mounting depths
• 1.5 m total system length (Option 15)
• Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable (Option 12) for sealing against liquid ingress
• CSA, ATEX, IECEx hazardous area approvals (Option 05)

Applications

• Turbine and compressor shaft vibration monitoring
• Rotor axial position (thrust) measurement
• Critical rotating machinery protection
• Fluid-film bearing performance analysis
• Hazardous area machinery monitoring (requires qualified installation)

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe is installed using the appropriate mounting bracket to maintain required air gap (typically 1.27 mm nominal).
• Use BN-approved extension cables to ensure proper system impedance and signal integrity.
• For hazardous area installations, adhere to Bently Nevada drawing 141092 for intrinsic safety requirements.
• FluidLoc cable (Option 12) provides a seal against fluid migration; ensure the cable entry is properly clamped if external pressure differential exists.
• Minimize cable bending radius during installation to prevent shield damage and impedance variation.
