Description

Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-20-02-CN | 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-20-02-CN is a precision-engineered non-contacting sensor designed for the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This probe measures shaft vibration and position with high accuracy by utilizing eddy current technology. It converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal, allowing the monitoring system to track radial displacement and axial thrust. This model is essential for protecting high-speed rotating assets such as turbines, compressors, and pumps in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Superiority and Environmental Resilience

This probe configuration excels in harsh conditions where moisture, oil, and extreme temperatures are common. The 330106-05-30-20-02-CN features a robust polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and a stainless steel probe case to ensure long-term stability. Furthermore, the 3300 XL design provides a significant improvement in moisture resistance compared to previous generations. The probe maintains a consistent linear scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), ensuring that data remains accurate across the entire measurement range.
