Bently Nevada 330104-00-23-10-02-00 3300 XL Proximity Probe

Description

Engineered for high-reliability vibration and shaft position monitoring, the 330104-00-23-10-02-00 is an industrial-grade 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe manufactured by Bently Nevada. This sensor operates as a core component of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system, transducing the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target into a precise electrical signal.

This specific model features an M10 x 1 metric thread configuration integrated with robust stainless steel armor to shield the internal coaxial cable from harsh industrial fluids, mechanical abrasion, and environmental hazards. Configured with a 0 mm unthreaded length and a 230 mm overall case length, it provides the physical reach required for deep-pocket machine casings. The 1.0-meter standard cable is terminated with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, ensuring a secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection to the extension cable and proximitor sensor.

Features

• Rugged Stainless Steel Armor: Provides exceptional mechanical protection for the coaxial cable against cutting, pinching, and industrial fluids.
• ClickLoc Coaxial Connector: Features a gold-plated, miniature coaxial connection mechanism that resists loosening under high-frequency machinery vibration.
• Standard Temperature Rating: Built to withstand demanding casing environments without signal degradation.
• Metrological Threading: Standard M10 x 1 metric thread allows precise positioning and depth adjustment during gapping.

Applications

• Radial shaft vibration and dynamic motion analysis on rotating machinery.
• Thrust and axial position measurement on industrial steam turbines, gas turbines, and compressors.
• Speed measurement and keyphasor reference phase detection.
• Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) integration for machinery protection systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Gapping and Calibration: Ensure the sensor is calibrated for the specific target material (typically AISI 4140 steel) and gapped using a digital voltmeter at the nominal center of the linear range.
• Cable Handling: Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the armored cable during installation to avoid damaging the internal coaxial core.
• Connector Protection: Ensure ClickLoc connectors are clean, dry, and fully clicked into place before applying silicone self-insulating tape or connector protectors.
