Description

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-05-02-00 is a high-precision, non-contact 8 mm proximity probe from the industrial standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This specific configuration features a fully threaded 3.6-inch case length, a 0.5-meter (1.6-foot) total cable length with a standard miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, and is optimized for general-purpose, non-hazardous industrial applications. It operates on eddy-current technology to deliver dependable displacement and shaft vibration measurements, preventing critical equipment damage in rotating machinery.

By pairing with a 3300 XL extension cable and a 330180 Proximitor sensor, this probe forms a complete measurement loop that translates the distance between the target and probe tip into a proportional voltage signal. This system is heavily integrated into industrial machinery protection schemes, including steam or gas turbines, pumps, gearboxes, and compressors, to monitor shaft position, bearing wear, and dynamic vibrations.

Features

• Fully Threaded Standard Case: Features 0.0 inches of unthreaded length and a 3.6-inch overall case length for versatile mechanical mounting.
• 0.5-Meter Integrated Lead: Designed with a short 0.5-meter standard cable for compact local installations where proximity to the junction box is minimal.
• ClickLoc Coaxial Connector: Equipped with a gold-plated miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector for a secure, low-loss electrical connection.
• Rugged Housing Material: Constructed with a high-strength stainless steel probe case and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip for continuous performance under harsh industrial conditions.
• Vibration and Position Detection: Accurately measures dynamic shaft vibration and static thrust position without physical target contact.

Applications

• Industrial steam and gas turbine supervisory instrumentation (TSI)
• Rotor axial displacement and thrust position tracking in multi-stage compressors
• Real-time dynamic shaft vibration monitoring in utility pumps
• Thrust bearing wear detection in heavy gearboxes and high-speed machinery
• Continuous condition monitoring on bearing housings and machinery casings

Installation Guidelines

Ensure standard industrial vibration monitoring installation practices are followed:

• Verify that the total combined length of the probe and extension cable matches the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor calibration (usually a 5-meter or 9-meter total transducer system).
• Mount the probe with the correct probe gap (typically gapped at 1.27 mm or 50 mils) corresponding to the midpoint of the linear range.
• Maintain proper grounding and shielding protocols to prevent electrical interference from other machinery subsystems.
• Do not exceed the maximum thread engagement length of 0.563 inches (14.3 mm) inside the mounting bracket or casing.

Compliance and Certifications

This 330101 configuration option (Option -00) is intended for general-purpose applications and does not carry hazardous area electrical safety approvals. For hazardous area applications, configurations featuring agency approval option codes (such as Option -05) must be utilized.
