Description

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-10-02-05 is a high-precision 8mm proximity probe belonging to the 3300 XL Transducer System series. This industrial-grade sensor facilitates non-contacting displacement and vibration measurements on rotating machinery. By converting the gap between the probe tip and the target material into a proportional voltage, it enables real-time monitoring of critical assets such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and industrial pumps.

• Total Cable Length: 1.0 meter (3.3 feet)
• Thread Size: 3/8-24 UNF
• Connector Type: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with gold-plated contacts
• Agency Approvals: Multiple international certifications including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx for hazardous environments
• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)
• Input Voltage: -18 Vdc to -26 Vdc
• Operating Temperature: -51 °C to +177 °C (-60 °F to +351 °F)

Functional Capabilities

Engineered for extreme durability, this probe utilizes a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip that resists chemical degradation and moisture ingress. The ClickLoc connector system provides a secure, vibration-resistant coupling that eliminates the need for specialized tools during installation. Furthermore, the unarmored cable design offers maximum flexibility for routing through conduits and internal machine housings.

Since the system supports hazardous area installations, it effectively serves facilities in the petrochemical and power generation sectors. The extended 9.6-inch case length allows the sensor to reach deeply recessed shaft surfaces, while the 1.0-meter cable serves as a standard lead to the extension cable and Proximitor Sensor. Consequently, this configuration ensures stable signal transmission even in high-vibration environments.

Industrial Applications

• Radial vibration and shaft position monitoring
• Axial thrust position measurements for high-speed rotors
• Eccentricity and phase reference (Keyphasor) detection
• Predictive maintenance for balance-of-plant equipment
• Tachometer and overspeed protection systems
