Description

The Bently Nevada 330103-05-13-10-02-00 operates as a high-precision eddy current sensor. This probe measures shaft vibration and axial position in rotating machinery. It belongs to the 3300 XL 8mm series for industrial monitoring. The sensor detects microscopic changes in the distance to a metal target. This data assists engineers in preventing catastrophic mechanical failures.

Technical Configuration

This specific model uses a 3/8-24 UNF thread for standard industrial mounting. The probe includes an unthreaded length of 0.5 inches for shallow installations. Furthermore, it features a case length of 1.3 inches for robust housing support. The total cable length measures 1.0 meter without a connector protector. Gold-plated brass connectors ensure high signal integrity during continuous operation.

Operational Advantages

The 3300 XL system provides a linear range of 2.0 mm (80 mils). It generates a standard output of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) for the controller. Consequently, this probe integrates easily with 3500 series vibration monitoring racks. The PPS probe tip resists chemical corrosion and moisture penetration. These features ensure long-term stability in oil-saturated environments.

Industrial Applications

Reliability is essential for Turbomachinery Instrumentation (TSI) in power plants. This probe monitors steam turbines and large centrifugal compressors. Additionally, it tracks radial vibration in high-speed pump bearings. Facilities in the oil and gas sector utilize these sensors for asset protection. They support predictive maintenance programs by detecting early bearing wear.
