Bently Nevada 330180-080-03-05 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor

Description

The 330180-080-03-05 is a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor component for the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This device serves as the signal conditioning interface between the probe and the monitoring system, converting the eddy-current displacement measurement from the probe into a voltage output signal proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface.

3300 XL Proximitor sensors utilize advanced circuitry to maintain system accuracy and temperature stability. This configuration is compatible with 3300 XL 8 mm probes and extension cables to provide reliable vibration and axial position measurement for critical rotating machinery, such as steam turbines, gas compressors, and centrifugal pumps. The 3300 XL system is engineered to function within the 3300 monitoring chains, ensuring consistent performance and compatibility with Bently Nevada machinery protection and condition monitoring hardware.

Features

• Designed for use with 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes and 3300 XL extension cables
• Provides voltage output proportional to shaft displacement for vibration and position monitoring
• Compatible with standard Bently Nevada 3300 monitoring rack interfaces
• Supports hazardous area installations when used with approved components
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) designed for industrial machinery environments

Applications

• Critical machinery protection for turbines, compressors, and generators
• Shaft radial vibration monitoring for sleeve bearing machines
• Axial position (thrust) measurement for rotor displacement
• Differential expansion measurements in rotating equipment
• High-temperature or harsh industrial environment monitoring installations

Installation Guidelines

Ensure that the total system length (probe plus extension cable) matches the requirements of the Proximitor sensor. Proper grounding and shielding are required for the installation of the signal cable between the sensor and the monitoring system. The sensor should be mounted in a protected location, ideally within a Bently Nevada approved housing, to avoid direct exposure to process fluids or harsh environmental conditions. Always verify that the probe gap is set correctly according to the system manual for the specific machine application.
