Bently Nevada 330104-00-09-15-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

Fully threaded M10 x 1 metric steel probe body (Option 00) with 90 mm overall case length (Option 09) and 1.5 m armored cable (Option 15) defines the 330104-00-09-15-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe. This non-contacting transducer measures static and dynamic distances between the probe tip and a target, such as a rotating shaft. It is part of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system and pairs with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and extension cable.

This specific configuration incorporates a protective stainless steel armor sleeve over the coaxial cable (distinguishing it from the unarmored 330103 model) to protect against mechanical friction, fluid force, and physical impacts inside industrial machinery. It also features a miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector equipped with a fluorosilicone connector protector (Option 01) to seal out contaminants, making it suitable for environments where turbine oil or high humidity is present. Since this unit has the Option 00 approval code, it is intended for general-purpose applications where hazardous area certifications are not required.

Features

• M10 x 1 Metric Thread: Enables direct mounting into threaded machinery ports and brackets.
• 90 mm Case Length (Option 09): Provides a long rigid body with 0 mm unthreaded length (Option 00) for deep-reach installation.
• 1.5-Meter Cable (Option 15): Features integrated 1.5 m (4.9 ft) cable length for direct connection to extension cables or local junction boxes.
• Stainless Steel Armor: Armored sleeve protects the underlying 75-ohm coaxial cable against physical damage and abrasive environments.
• Connector Protector (Option 01): Miniature ClickLoc connector includes a pre-installed fluorosilicone environmental protector to seal out lubricants and moisture.

Applications

This probe is used in critical rotating machinery for monitoring mechanical parameters. Typical applications include:

• Radial shaft vibration monitoring
• Axial thrust position measurement
• Keyphasor and speed measurement references
• Use in steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, large pumps, and high-speed gearboxes

Installation Guidelines

To ensure proper electrical output and prevent mechanical failure, observe the following engineering guidelines during installation:

• Set the initial physical gap between the probe tip and target using a thickness gauge or digital voltmeter to read the sensor's DC voltage (typically -10 Vdc at a 1.27 mm or 50 mils gap).
• Do not exceed the maximum thread engagement length of 15 mm for M10 x 1 thread to avoid binding or housing damage.
• Ensure that the ClickLoc coaxial connectors are properly mated; hand-tighten until they audibly "click" together.
• Route the armored cable to avoid sharp bends; the minimum bend radius for armored probe cables is 25.4 mm (1.0 inch).

Compliance and Certifications

This configuration (Option E = 00) does not carry hazardous area certifications. General product compliance includes:

• CE Mark (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive)
• RoHS Compliant
