Bently Nevada 330880-16-00-060-03-02 PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer

Description

330880-16-00-060-03-02 is a PROXPAC XL English integrated proximity transducer configuration featuring an integrated 3300 XL 8 mm probe without hazardous area approvals (Option 16), no standoff adapter (Option 00), 6.0 inches of probe penetration (Option 060), specialized NPT reduction fittings (Option 03), and a 3/4-14 NPT outer sleeve mounting thread (Option 02). This integrated assembly combines the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe and its associated Proximitor sensor directly into a single, self-contained protective housing, eliminating the requirement for an external extension cable or a separate remote housing. Field wiring from the system monitor terminates directly inside the junction area of the housing, reducing physical footprint, installation complexity, and potential cable failure points.

Unlike hazardous area configurations like Option 28 (which includes multiple agency approvals for intrinsically safe and non-incendive zones), this Option 16 configuration is optimized for cost-effective implementation in non-hazardous industrial environments. The 6.0-inch penetration sleeve (Option 060) allows direct immersion into machine casings, with internal Neoprene O-ring seals providing IP66-rated protection. The heavy-duty polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic housing incorporates glass and conductive fibers to increase casing strength and effectively dissipate electrostatic charges, making the assembly well-suited for severe industrial environments.

Features

• Integrated proximity transducer design: Merges the 3300 XL 8 mm probe and the Proximitor sensor into a single, self-contained assembly to eliminate extension cable runs.
• Option 16 probe configuration: Features a standard 3300 XL 8 mm probe without agency approvals, ideal for general-purpose, non-hazardous monitoring.
• 6.0-inch penetration sleeve (Option 060): Provides a 6.0 in (152 mm) rigid probe insertion depth into the machine case, adjustable within plus or minus 12.7 mm (0.5 in).
• Advanced PPS thermoplastic housing: Constructed from glass and conductive-fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) to maximize casing strength and electrostatic discharge capability.
• Option 03 fittings kit: Includes one 3/4-14 NPT fitting, one 3/4-14 NPT to 1/2-14 NPT stainless steel reducer, and two plugs to simplify routing field conduits.
• Type 4X and IP66 rating: Provides protection against dust and high-pressure water jets, ensuring interior component safety.

Applications

• Combined radial shaft vibration and axial shaft position monitoring on rotating machinery.
• Space-constrained turbine casing or compressor frame installations where remote Proximitor enclosures are impractical.
• Severe industrial environments requiring physical housing protection against water washdowns and dust ingress.

Installation Guidelines

• Adjust probe gap by turning the threaded probe sleeve within the machine casing mounting threads.
• The mounting thread is 3/4-14 NPT (Option 02) and should be properly sealed with standard thread sealant.
• The standard outer sleeve locknut torque is 39.3 N-m (350 in-lb).
• Ensure the Neoprene O-ring is properly lubricated and seated between the probe sleeve and housing to maintain the IP66 ingress rating.
• Avoid side-view and rear-view metallic interference on the probe tip by maintaining proper clearance relative to the surrounding machinery walls.
