330104-00-05-50-11-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Armored Metric Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-05-50-11-00 delivers high-precision displacement sensing for the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This metric-threaded probe measures radial vibration and axial position on critical rotating assets. Featuring an extended 5.0-meter integrated lead with stainless steel armor and a specialized connector protector, it eliminates the need for an external extension cable in many short-run configurations. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, ensuring factory-certified accuracy for your machinery protection loops.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330104 series utilizes a modular nomenclature to define precise mechanical and protective specifications:

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-05-50-11-00 ensures reliable data transmission in harsh plant environments:

• Sensing Type: Non-contacting Eddy Current

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8.0 mm

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

• Nominal Scale Factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil)

• Armor Material: Flexible Stainless Steel (SST)

• Operating Temperature: -51 °C to +177 °C (-60 °F to +351 °F)

• Cable Impedance: 75 $\Omega$ coaxial

• Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

Engineering Advantages

• Integrated 5.0m Cable Run: The 5.0-meter total length allows for a direct connection from the machine casing to the Proximitor® sensor in many installations. This reduces the number of interconnects, which minimizes signal attenuation and potential points of failure.

• Advanced Connector Protection: The "Option 11" configuration includes a factory-installed connector protector. This shields the gold-plated ClickLoc™ interface from moisture, oil, and conductive contaminants, preventing the signal "drifts" or "spikes" that trigger false machine trips.

• Robust Mechanical Armor: Stainless steel armor encases the entire cable length. It protects the sensitive coaxial core from physical crushing, abrasive wear, and accidental damage during routine machinery maintenance.

• High-Stability PPS Tip: The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material resists chemical attack from hot turbine oils and synthetic lubricants. It maintains dimensional stability under extreme temperatures, ensuring the scale factor remains constant throughout the machine's thermal cycle.

• Streamlined Metric Installation: The M10 x 1 thread integrates directly into metric-standard bearing housings. The 50 mm fully threaded case provides maximum gapping flexibility, allowing engineers to set the probe at the precise electrical center for optimal linear response.

FAQs

Q: Can I connect this 5.0-meter probe directly to a 5.0-meter Proximitor®?

A: Yes. This 5.0-meter probe is designed to connect directly to a 5.0-meter system Proximitor® without an extension cable. Ensure your Proximitor® is specifically calibrated for a 5.0-meter total system length.

Q: What is the benefit of the fully threaded "00" option?

A: The "00" option provides threads along the entire 50 mm case. This allows you to adjust the probe's depth precisely through a wide range of mounting bracket thicknesses to achieve the required DC gap voltage (typically -10 VDC).

Q: Does the connector protector make the connection waterproof?

A: While the connector protector significantly improves resistance to moisture and oil splash, it is not rated for continuous submersion. It provides the high level of ingress protection required for standard industrial "wet" areas.

Q: Is this probe compatible with non-XL 3300 systems?

A: While physically compatible, the 3300 XL probe is optimized for use with the 3300 XL Proximitor® to achieve a 200 mV/mil scale factor and superior thermal stability. Mixing with older 7200 or non-XL 3300 components may degrade measurement accuracy.
