Bently Nevada 330104-00-05-50-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

Option 00 (0 mm unthreaded length) and Option 05 (50 mm overall case length) define the fully threaded metric envelope of this armored 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe, identified as orderable configuration 330104-00-05-50-02-00. This probe is part of the non-contacting eddy-current transducer system designed for shaft vibration and axial position measurement on rotating machinery.

This specific configuration includes a 5.0-meter integral cable protected by robust, flexible stainless steel armor, making it suitable for environments where physical abrasion or routing wear is a concern. Unlike standard non-armored variants or configurations with connector protectors, the 330104-00-05-50-02-00 utilizes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector (Option 02) without an external protector. It is designated for general-purpose installations where specialized hazardous area agency approvals are not required (Option 00). It must be paired specifically with a 5-meter Proximitor sensor to form a complete calibrated system.

Features

• Metric M10 x 1 threaded case with integrated stainless steel armor for heavy-duty physical protection.
• Zero unthreaded length (Option 00) allowing full thread engagement along the 50 mm case (Option 05).
• 5.0-meter total cable length (Option 50) designed to connect directly with 5-meter Proximitor sensors.
• ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector (Option 02) for connection without the added bulk of a connector protector.
• Standard temperature range rating from -52 degC to +177 degC (-62 degF to +350 degF).
• Viton O-ring pressure seal between the 8 mm probe tip and case.

Applications

• Steam and gas turbine rotor vibration monitoring.
• Hydroelectric turbine shaft position and radial vibration measurements.
• High-speed industrial compressor axial thrust monitoring.
• Gearbox shaft motion and casing relative expansion tracking.
• Heavy machinery rotating assembly protection in non-hazardous plant zones.

Installation Guidelines

• Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) on the armored cable during installation to avoid damaging internal triaxial layers.
• Ensure the probe tip is spaced away from any adjacent structural metal other than the target area to prevent calibration offset.
• Apply a recommended torque of 11.2 N-m (100 in-lb) when mounting the M10 x 1 threaded probe body. Do not exceed the maximum rated limit of 33.9 N-m (300 in-lb).
• This 5.0-meter probe configuration must be paired directly with a matching 5-meter Proximitor sensor; do not install an intermediate extension cable.
• Ground the coaxial shield terminal only at the Proximitor sensor housing to avoid ground loop interference.

Compliance and Certifications

This configuration (Option 00) is intended for general-purpose, non-hazardous area applications and does not include hazardous area certifications (such as ATEX, IECEx, or CSA approvals which would otherwise be designated under Option 05).
