330101-00-43-15-02-05 | Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330101-00-43-15-02-05 represents a specialized, long-reach transducer within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. This 100% Brand New original 8mm probe provides non-contacting measurement of radial vibration, axial thrust, and shaft position for fluid-film bearing machines. Engineered for high-criticality assets, it captures high-fidelity displacement data and transmits it to the Proximitor sensor for machinery protection. This specific configuration features an extended 4.3-inch fully threaded case and a 1.5-meter integral cable, providing the necessary reach and hazardous area certifications for deep bearing housing installations in global refinery and power environments.

Technical Specifications

The 330101-00-43-15-02-05 maintains strict linearity and interchangeability across its entire operating range.

Engineering Advantages

• Extended Deep-Housing Access: The 4.3-inch threaded case allows the probe to reach shaft targets through exceptionally thick machine casings or deep internal bearing pedestals. This length provides superior installation flexibility without the need for custom-manufactured mounting sleeves.

• Global Explosion-Proof Compliance: The "-05" multi-approval option ensures compliance with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards. This allows for immediate deployment in Zone 0, 1, or 2 hazardous locations, streamlining procurement for international projects and ensuring adherence to global safety mandates.

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

• High-Performance Signal Integrity: The 3300 XL series rejects electromagnetic interference (EMI) through advanced cable shielding. This ensures that the vibration waveforms remain deterministic and clean, even when the probe operates near high-voltage generators or large induction motors.

FAQs

• Is this 330101-00-43-15-02-05 probe a brand-new original unit?

  Yes. We supply this probe exclusively as 100% Brand New original factory stock. Each unit arrives in Bently Nevada’s original protective packaging with all factory inspection markings to guarantee authenticity and field reliability.

• Which extension cable should I pair with this 1.5-meter probe?

  To achieve a standard 5.0-meter system length, you must use a 3.5-meter 3300 XL extension cable. For a 9.0-meter system, pair it with a 7.5-meter extension cable. Always ensure the total electrical length (Probe + Extension) matches the calibration of your Proximitor sensor.

• Can I replace an existing probe without recalibrating the Proximitor?

  Bently Nevada manufactures the 3300 XL series to strict tolerances that allow for "plug-and-play" replacement. You can replace a probe with the same part number without the need for manual system re-calibration.

• How do I set the correct mechanical gap during installation?

  Adjust the 3/8-24 UNF threading while monitoring the DC Gap voltage at the Proximitor output. For most 3300 XL applications, a voltage reading of approximately -10.0 VDC indicates the center of the linear range.
