Bently Nevada 330880-16-35-036-00-02 PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer

Description

Designed for robust shaft vibration and position monitoring in demanding industrial environments, the 330880-16-35-036-00-02 housing assembly integrates a high-precision proximity probe into a durable packaging solution. This assembly utilizes the PROXPAC XL series architecture, which simplifies the mechanical installation and protects critical sensor components from environmental contamination and physical damage.

This specific configuration incorporates a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe without hazardous area approvals, mounted on a 3.5-inch standoff adapter. Featuring a precise 3.6-inch probe penetration depth, the assembly is engineered to align perfectly with target shafts in machinery casings. The 330880-16-35-036-00-02 proximity transducer serves as a direct functional replacement for the older 330880-28-35-036-00-02 configuration, maintaining mechanical compatibility and signal consistency across legacy systems.

Features

• Integrated Probe Protection: Safeguards internal transducer components against harsh industrial atmospheres, moisture, and mechanical impact.
• Engineered Standoff Adapter: Includes a rigid 3.5-inch standoff to facilitate proper external positioning relative to the machine casing.
• Optimized Penetration Depth: Prefabricated 3.6-inch probe penetration ensures repeatable distance calibration.
• Robust NPT Mounting: Features standard 3/4-14 NPT threads for secure and leak-tight casing attachment.
• Simplified Fitting Design: Supplied with two protective plugs and two washers without external conduit fittings.

Applications

• Steam, gas, and hydro turbines
• Centrifugal and axial process compressors
• Industrial power generation generators
• High-pressure water pumps and cooling fans
• Rotating machinery shaft vibration and axial thrust position monitoring

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Verify that the 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread option is clear of debris before threading into the machine casing.
• Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT joint to maintain housing sealing and prevent moisture ingress.
• Ensure the 3.6-inch probe penetration depth aligns accurately with the target surface clearance limits of the monitored shaft.
• Tighten the standoff adapter to the specified torque values to prevent loose sensor assemblies during high-vibration machinery operation.
