3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe | Bently Nevada | 330101-00-36-15-02-05

Product Overview

The 330101-00-36-15-02-05 represents a cornerstone in non-contacting displacement measurement technology. As a primary sensor for the Bently Nevada 3300 XL transducer system, this 100% Brand New original 8mm probe monitors radial vibration, axial thrust, and shaft position on fluid-film bearing machinery. Manufactured in the U.S.A., it delivers the industry-standard 200 mV/mil scale factor required for high-criticality assets. This specific configuration features an extended 3.6-inch threaded case and a 1.5-meter integral cable, providing the physical reach and electrical integrity necessary for deep-access bearing housing installations in hazardous environments.

Part Number Breakdown

Technical Specifications

The 330101-00-36-15-02-05 utilizes high-grade materials to maintain signal accuracy across its entire 80-mil linear range.

Engineering Advantages

• Extended Deep-Housing Access: The 3.6-inch fully threaded case facilitates installation through thick machine casings and internal bearing pedestals. This length allows engineers to reach recessed shaft targets while maintaining sub-mil adjustment precision for final mechanical gap settings.

• Global Compliance for Hazardous Zones: The "-05" multi-approval designation ensures compliance with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards. This allows for immediate deployment in Zone 0, 1, or 2 environments, providing a standardized global part number for international refinery and offshore projects.

• Vibration-Proof ClickLoc™ Connection: The ClickLoc™ connector incorporates a positive mechanical lock mechanism. This prevents unintentional cable disconnection or signal attenuation caused by high-frequency machinery vibrations, eliminating a common failure point found in standard friction-fit proximity systems.

• Thermal and Chemical Resilience: High-performance stainless steel and specialized tip polymers withstand the aggressive chemical environments and thermal cycles found in utility-scale steam turbines. The probe maintains a stable electrical gap even when exposed to hot lubricating oil splash and moisture.

FAQs

• Is this 330101-00-36-15-02-05 probe a brand-new original unit?

  Yes. We supply this probe exclusively as 100% Brand New original factory stock. Each unit arrives in original Bently Nevada protective packaging with "Made in U.S.A." documentation to guarantee field reliability.

• Which extension cable matches a 1.5-meter probe?

  To achieve a standard 5.0-meter system length, you must pair this 1.5-meter probe with a 3.5-meter 3300 XL extension cable. For a 9.0-meter system, use a 7.5-meter extension cable. Ensure the total electrical length (Probe + Extension) matches the Proximitor’s calibration.

• Does the probe include mounting hardware?

  The probe includes two lock nuts for secure mounting. However, if your installation requires specialized mounting brackets or external housings, you must order those components separately to fit your specific turbine pedestal configuration.

• How do I verify the correct gap voltage?

  Connect the probe to its Proximitor and monitor the DC Gap voltage. Adjust the 3/8-24 UNF threading until the voltage reaches approximately -10.0 VDC, which signifies the center of the linear range for a standard 3300 XL system.
