Bently Nevada 330104-10-16-05-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

Option 10 (100 mm unthreaded length), Option 16 (160 mm overall case length), Option 05 (0.5 m total length), Option 01 (ClickLoc connector with protector, standard armored cable), and Option 00 (no agency approvals required) specify this metric proximity probe configuration - 330104-10-16-05-01-00. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe features M10 x 1 metric threading and comes with an integrated stainless steel conduit armor. It operates as part of a non-contact eddy-current transducer system, pairing with a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and extension cable to measure shaft vibration, axial position, and speed on rotating machinery.

This configuration incorporates a 0.5-meter overall probe length with standard cable construction, housed within FEP armor for mechanical protection against harsh environmental exposure. The 100 mm unthreaded section provides clearance through mounting brackets or machine casings, leaving 60 mm of M10 x 1 threaded body for depth adjustment and positioning. The inclusion of a ClickLoc coaxial connector and a pre-installed connector protector prevents moisture ingress and accidental disconnection at the junction with the extension cable.

Features

• M10 x 1 Metric Threads: Threaded probe body with 160 mm overall case length (Option 16) and 100 mm unthreaded portion (Option 10) for mounting flexibility.
• Integral Stainless Steel Armor: Protective conduit (Option 01) shields the coaxial cable from abrasion, cutting, and mechanical impact.
• ClickLoc Coaxial Connector: Features a gold-plated male coaxial connection with a pre-installed silicone connector protector for environmental sealing.
• 0.5-Meter System Total Length: Compact 0.5 m lead length (Option 05) designed to connect directly to a matching extension cable in a 5 m or 9 m transducer chain.
• Unapproved Option: Option 00 specifies that standard electrical and mechanical designs apply without hazardous area certifications.

Applications

Typical applications include shaft vibration, axial position, and speed measurements on industrial machinery:

• Steam and gas turbines
• Centrifugal and axial compressors
• Power generation equipment
• Water pumps and industrial fans
• Gearboxes and rotating shafts

Installation Guidelines

Engineers must observe the following recommendations during installation:

• Thread Engagement: Maximize thread engagement up to 15 mm for the M10 x 1 thread to avoid binding or stripped threads.
• Unthreaded Clearance: Ensure the 100 mm unthreaded portion passes through the sensor sleeve or casing bracket without making contact with structural walls that might affect eddy-current readings.
• Cable Bend Radius: Maintain a minimum physical bend radius of 25 mm (1.0 in) for the armored conduit to prevent internal coaxial cable damage.
• Torque Limits: Do not exceed the maximum torque limit of 9.9 N-m (88 in-lb) when tightening the case locknuts.
• Connector Protection: Ensure the ClickLoc connector protector is fully seated over the junction with the extension cable to guard against fluid ingress.
