Product Description

Overview

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-50-10-02-00 is a precision 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe, engineered for high-fidelity, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and position in critical rotating machinery. This specific configuration is tailored for applications requiring a 1.0-meter cable, 5.0-inch case, and Miniature ClickLoc™ connector for seamless integration with standard Bently Nevada Proximitor® systems.

The 3300 XL series is recognized as the industry standard for rotor health monitoring, providing reliable, linear signals over a wide dynamic range.

Probe Description

The 330101 series operates as an eddy-current proximity sensor. Its high-frequency magnetic field interacts with conductive targets, generating a voltage proportional to shaft displacement. The robust ClickLoc™ coaxial connector ensures secure, vibration-resistant connections, while the hermetically sealed tip guarantees long-term durability under extreme environmental conditions.

Technical Summary Table

Applications

• Radial vibration monitoring (shaft orbit or "wobble")

• Axial thrust measurement to prevent rotor-stator contact

• Slow-roll eccentricity detection for turbines or compressors

• Keyphasor® signal generation for once-per-turn timing

Installation Note: The 1.0-meter cable length requires matching with a 4.0-meter extension if using a standard 5-meter Proximitor® system. Incorrect cable length may cause scale factor errors.
