Product Description

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-27-50-02-00 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, a critical component in the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. Designed for non-contact measurement of vibration and displacement, this eddy current sensor provides essential data for machine condition monitoring and asset protection. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System, delivering precise and reliable measurements for critical rotating machinery. The 330101-00-27-50-02-00 is specifically configured with a 5.0-meter total length and a 2.7-inch case length, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial installations. Its robust construction, featuring an AISI 304 stainless steel case and a durable Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) probe tip, ensures long-term performance even in harsh operating environments characterized by high temperatures and corrosive elements. This probe represents the pinnacle of Bently Nevada’s decades of expertise in vibration sensing technology, offering superior accuracy and thermal stability compared to previous designs.

As a key part of a complete transducer system, the Bently Nevada 330101-00-27-50-02-00 probe works in conjunction with a 3300 XL extension cable and a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. When installed, the system emits a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) signal from the probe tip. This signal creates an electromagnetic field that induces eddy currents on the surface of the observed conductive machine shaft. The Proximitor Sensor measures the changes in this field, which correspond directly to the gap between the probe tip and the shaft surface. This allows for highly accurate measurements of axial position (thrust), radial vibration, and shaft speed. The specific configuration of the 330101-00-27-50-02-00, including its miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector, ensures a secure and reliable connection, preventing data intermittency caused by vibration or improper installation. The gold-plated contacts on the connector further enhance signal integrity, a crucial factor for the precision required in turbine and compressor monitoring.

The technical specifications of the Bently Nevada 330101-00-27-50-02-00 are precisely defined for optimal system performance. This unit features a 5.0-meter integral standard cable, a 2.7-inch case length, and a 0.0-inch unthreaded length, providing a specific physical footprint for targeted mounting applications. The 8 mm tip is the industry standard for a wide array of machinery, offering a linear measurement range of 80 mils (2 mm) with an exceptional sensitivity of 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm). This level of precision is fundamental for predictive maintenance programs, enabling engineers to detect subtle changes in machine behavior that may indicate developing faults such as bearing wear, misalignment, or imbalance. By investing in a genuine Bently Nevada component like the 330101-00-27-50-02-00, facilities ensure full system compatibility, certified performance, and the reliability needed to protect high-value assets and prevent unplanned downtime. This probe is not just a sensor; it is an integral part of a comprehensive plant-wide asset protection strategy.
