Description

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-16-10-02-CN, also cataloged as the 330101-00-16-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, operates as a dedicated hardware component for noncontacting displacement measurement within 3300 Machinery Protection System platforms.

Hardware Specifications

Machinery Monitoring and TSI Characteristics

This 8 mm probe registers mechanical position deviations during high-speed rotor dynamics evaluation. Specifically, the probe tip projects a high-frequency magnetic field to track microscopic shaft movements. Consequently, the sensor geometry preserves a precise eddy-current probe scaling ratio when paired with a matching 3300 XL Proximitor. Furthermore, the robust insulation limits signal loss. Therefore, the complete loop maintains highly repeatable gap voltage validation metrics targeting the standard -10 VDC operational benchmark while enforcing cross-talk suppression against adjacent sensor lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What physical parameters define the 00-16-10-02 configuration options?

A: The options specify a 0.0-inch unthreaded length (00), a 1.6-inch total threaded case length (16), a 1.0-meter overall cable length (10), and a miniature coaxial connector tip (02).

Q: How does the “CN” suffix alter the base 330101-00-16-10-02-00 hardware?

A: The hardware remains physically identical. However, the CN designator verifies specific certification compliance for hazardous installations within Chinese industrial zones.

Field Installation Guidelines

First, thread the probe body into the mounting bracket until the tip achieves the specified gap distance from the target shaft surface. Subsequently, confirm that the static gap matches the factory-recommended voltage baseline using a digital voltmeter. Always run the probe lead through grounded metal conduit. Consequently, this protective shielding maintains cross-talk suppression and blocks electromagnetic interference. Finally, hand-tighten the miniature coaxial connector into the extension cable link, applying self-fusing silicone tape over the junction to block moisture entry.
