Bently Nevada 330171-00-08-10-02-00 3300 5mm Proximity Probes

Description

Option 00 (0.0 in unthreaded length), Option 08 (0.8 in case length), Option 10 (1.0 m total length), and Option 02 (ClickLoc connector without protector) define this specific 3300 5 mm proximity probe configuration — 330171-00-08-10-02-00. This non-armored eddy-current displacement sensor is used in tight mechanical spaces where larger 8 mm or 11 mm probes cannot physically fit, such as between thrust bearing pads or within compact machinery housings. Operating on the eddy-current principle, the sensor measures static gap (position) and dynamic motion (vibration) against a conductive AISI 4140 steel target.

This specific variant features a 1/4-28 UNF threaded body without protective stainless steel armor. By utilizing a 1.0-meter integrated standard cable terminating in a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, this configuration provides direct connection to a 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor sensor, establishing a complete 5 mm transducer system with an incremental scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil).

Features

• Unarmored 1/4-28 UNF Body: Threaded stainless steel case with no external metal armor braid for standard installations with routing space.
• 0.0 Inch Unthreaded Length: Fully threaded 0.8-inch case length allows for maximum adjustability within mounting brackets or tapped machine casings.
• 1.0-Meter Total Cable Length: Short-run integrated 75-ohm triaxial cable for compact spacing, terminating in a gold-plated ClickLoc connector.
• Miniature ClickLoc Connector: Gold-plated brass coaxial connection with a positive-locking mechanism that resists vibration without requiring special tools.
• 5 mm Tip Diameter: Slim-profile probe tip for space-constrained locations while maintaining a linear range of 2.0 mm (80 mils) comparable to standard 8 mm probes.

Applications

Typically used for shaft vibration and axial position measurement on industrial rotating machinery, including:

• Small fluid-film bearing machines with constrained interior clearances
• Thrust bearing housings with minimal space between pads
• Electric motors, generators, pumps, and high-speed turbomachinery
• Keyphasor phase-reference measurements and speed tracking applications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting Hole Preparation: When drilling and tapping a mounting hole for this 1/4-28 UNF probe, use a #3 or larger tap drill to avoid binding.
• Thread Engagement: Maximum thread engagement is per the industry standard of 1.5 times the nominal thread diameter. Avoid over-tightening or excessive thread engagement which can cause binding during installation.
• Cable Bend Radius: Maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) to prevent internal conductor damage.
• Connector Torque: ClickLoc connectors must be joined finger-tight until they click. Do not use special tools unless joining with a non-XL stainless steel connector, which requires finger-tight plus 1/8 turn using pliers.
• Grounding: Ensure proper shield grounding of the integrated triaxial cable through the companion extension cable to the Proximitor sensor's common terminal to prevent electrostatic noise interference.
