Bently Nevada 330880-16-15-020-01-02 PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer

Description

Option 16 (3300 XL 8 mm probe, unapproved), Option 15 (1.5 in standoff adapter), and Option 020 (2.0 in probe penetration length) define the specific configuration of the 330880-16-15-020-01-02 integrated PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer.

This self-contained assembly integrates a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe and a 1-meter cable directly inside the probe sleeve, eliminating the need for separate extension cables and dedicated sensor housings. It utilizes an advanced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic housing containing glass and conductive fibers to strengthen construction and dissipate electrostatic charges in severe industrial environments.

Features

• Option 16 provides an integrated 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe without hazardous area approvals.
• Option 15 specifies an English standoff adapter length of 1.5 inches (38 mm) for precise spacing.
• Option 020 establishes a probe penetration depth of 2.0 inches (51 mm) into the machine casing.
• Option 01 supplies one 3/4-14 NPT conduit fitting and two blanking plugs for robust cable sealing.
• Option 02 designates a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread for securing the outer sleeve assembly.
• Integrated 3300 XL Proximitor sensor inside the housing cover eliminates the need for an external extension cable.
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic construction offers IP66 and Type 4X environmental protection.

Applications

• Rotating machinery shaft vibration and axial position measurement
• Simplified installations requiring integrated transducer and housing configurations
• Critical industrial monitoring in power generation, chemical, and petrochemical plants
